which sunsets on January 1, 2016, an interstate commission of
the compacting states to, among other things, oversee,
supervise, and coordinate the interstate movement of
juveniles.
This bill:
1)Adds an exception for a person arrested for a DUI that needs
to be taken for medical treatment first.
2)Allows the use of body scanners when a person is taken into
custody.
3)Deletes the ICJ sunset date.
4)Makes additional technical changes to ICJ.
Background
This is the annual Senate Committee on Public Safety omnibus
bill. In past years, the omnibus bill has been introduced by
all members of the Committee on Public Safety. This bill is
similar to the ones introduced as Committee bills in the past in
that it has been introduced with the following understanding:
The bill's provisions make only technical or minor changes to
the law; and
There is no opposition by any member of the Legislature or
recognized group to the proposal.
This procedure has allowed for introduction of fewer minor bills
and has saved the Legislature time and expense over the years.
FISCAL EFFECT: Appropriation: No Fiscal
