	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 468, Baugh.  Bail.
   Existing law authorizes a local law enforcement agency to furnish
to a licensed bail agent or bail bond licensee, upon request, an
individual's known aliases and other specified information upon
specified conditions, including the condition that the information be
from the record of a person for whom a bench warrant has been
issued.
   This bill would amend the above condition by requiring in the
alternative, that the information be from the record of a person for
whom a bail forfeiture has been ordered.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 11105.6 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   11105.6.  Upon the request of a licensed bail agent or bail bond
licensee, as described in Sections 1276 and 1276.5, a local law
enforcement agency may furnish an individual's known aliases and
booking photograph, information identifying whether the individual
has been convicted of any violent felony, as defined in subdivision
(c) of Section 667.5, and an unaltered copy of the booking and
property record, excluding any medical information, to the agent or
licensee if all of the following circumstances exist:
   (a) The information is from the record of a person for whom a
bench warrant has been issued, or for whom a bail forfeiture has been
ordered.
   (b) The person described in subdivision (a) is a client of the
agent or licensee.
   (c) The agent or licensee pays to the law enforcement agency a fee
equal to the cost of providing the information.
   (d) Any information obtained pursuant to this section is
confidential and the recipient bail agent or bail bond licensee shall
not disclose its contents, other than for the purpose for which it
was acquired.  A violation of this subdivision is a misdemeanor.
