LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 214, as introduced, Beth Gaines. County charges: victims of crime.

Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a county or city to establish a program that provides reimbursement to innocent residents whose property is injured as a consequence of the actions of a peace officer detecting crime or apprehending or arresting a person, or the actions of a person resisting or avoiding arrest.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
