          Bill  
          Summary:  SB 1200 would require the Board of State and Community  
          Corrections (BSCC) to include a requirement for the training of  
          probation officers on domestic violence, including the nexus  
          between animal cruelty and violence against persons.  
          Additionally, this bill would require the Department of Justice  
          (DOJ) to include information concerning arrests for animal  
          cruelty in its annual report, as specified.


          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                      adopted by the committee on May 27, 2016




          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
            Data reporting  :  Likely minor non-reimbursable local costs  
            (Local Funds/General Fund*) for reporting. Staff notes prior  
            decisions issued by the Commission on State Mandates  







          SB 1200 (Jackson)                                      Page 1 of  
          ?
          
          
            (02-TC-04, 02-TC-11, 07-TC-10) determined the relevant code  
            sections applicable to the provisions of this bill do not  
            impose state-mandated requirements on local agencies, however,  
            these costs could potentially be subject to Proposition 30  
            funding requirements.  
           DOJ annual report  :  Minor, absorbable costs (General Fund) for  
            DOJ to include arrest data for animal cruelty in its annual  
            report.

          *Proposition 30 (2012) exempts the State from mandate  
          reimbursement for realigned programs including the provision of  
          public safety services, including the employment and training of  
          law enforcement personnel, and the related reporting  
          responsibilities of local agencies. However, legislation enacted  
          after September 30, 2012, that has an overall effect of  
          increasing the costs already borne by a local agency for levels  
          of services mandated by 2011 Realignment Legislation, applies to  
          local agencies only to the extent that the State provides annual  
          funding for the cost increase.  


          Committee  
          Amendments:  Strike Section 1 of the bill, which adds Section  
          6037 to the Penal Code, that requires the BSCC to include a  
          training requirement for probation officers, as specified.
