S. 6 - 0 | | | | |--------------------------------+--------------------------------| | | | |Urgency: No |Mandate: Yes | | | | |--------------------------------+--------------------------------| | | | |Hearing Date: May 27, 2016 |Consultant: Jolie Onodera | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -- END --
