          DIGEST:   This bill makes technical and corrective changes to

          Existing law:

          1)Governs the service of criminal subpoenas on peace officers.  
            (Penal Code § 1328(c)) 

          2)Requires a peace officer monitoring traffic to be in a car  
            painted a distinctive color. (Vehicle Code § 40800)

          3)Lists what should be in a sexual assault collection kit.  
            (Penal Code § 13823.11)

          4)Governs what shall be in a probation report and who can access  
            them. (Penal Code § 1203.10)

          This bill:









                                                                    SB 1474  
                                                                    Page  2



          1)Allows the district attorney to send a subpoena to a peace  
            officer by electronic means.

          2)Requires a traffic monitoring police car to be a distinctive  
            color but does not require it be painted.

          3)Makes clarifying changes to the sex assault collection  
            section.

          4)Clarifies that probation reports can be shared between  
            probation agencies.

          5)Makes other clarifying and technical changes.

          Background
          
          This is the annual Senate Public Safety Committee omnibus bill.  
          In past years, the omnibus bill has been introduced by all  
          members of the Senate Public Safety Committee. This bill is  
          similar to the ones introduced as Committee bills in the past in  
          that it has been introduced with the following understanding:  
          This 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.
