AB 2816, as introduced, Patterson. Superior courts: security.
Existing law, the Superior Court Security Act of 2012, provides that, except as specified, the sheriff is responsible for the necessary level of court security services. Under existing law, the presiding judge, in conjunction with the sheriff or marshall, is required to develop a comprehensive court security plan that includes the mutually agreed upon law enforcement security plan to be utilized by the court.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
