(POBOR). FISCAL EFFECT: AB 2830 Page 2 Unknown, additional reimbursable state mandated costs; however, prior POBOR mandate reimbursements, POBOR I and POBOR II, have been deferred for several years. COMMENTS: Background. The Peace Officers Bill of Rights (POBOR) provides peace officers with procedural protections relating to investigation and interrogations of peace officers, self-incrimination, privacy, polygraph exams, searches, personnel files, and administrative appeals. When the Legislature enacted POBOR in 1976 it found and declared "that the rights and protections provided to peace officers under this chapter constitute a matter of statewide concern." Deputy sheriffs, in specified counties, employed to perform duties exclusively related to custodial assignments involving the custody, care, supervision, security, movement, and transportation of inmates are covered by POBOR. Legislation in 2012, created a new classification of Correction Officer for the newly-created Modified Community Correctional Facilities. However, community corrections officers were not included within POBOR at the time. Purpose. This bill will provide community correctional officers the same protections other correctional officers currently have. Analysis Prepared by:Pedro Reyes / APPR. / (916) 319-2081 AB 2830 Page 3
