LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1673, Committee on Judiciary. Courts: services. (1) Existing law specifies when a judge is deemed to serve or sit under assignment. Existing law provides for the repeal of this provision as of January 1, 2000 and for the subsequent operation of a provision delineating the law governing assignments of judges and justices. This bill would extend the repeal of the current provision and the operation of the new provision to January 1, 2001. (2) Existing law provides that various court services shall be provided by marshals in Madera County. This bill would provide that the Sheriff of Madera County shall instead provide those services, and that all elected marshals in that county shall become employees of the sheriff's department on an unspecified date. By imposing new duties on the sheriff, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) Existing law provides for the number, classification, and compensation of the officers and employees of the superior and municipal courts in Kings County, Orange County, and Los Angeles County. Existing law provides for the unification of the municipal and superior courts, including the compensation of personnel who serve those courts. This bill would delete various provisions for the number, classification, and compensation of specified officers and employees of the superior and municipal courts in Orange County, and provide for the number, classification, and compensation of officers and employees of the superior court in Orange County to be specified by the Executive Committee of the Superior Court. The bill would revise the number, classification, and compensation of employees of the superior and municipal courts in Kings County and Los Angeles County, and of employees of the municipal courts in Kern County. The bill would also make related and technical changes. The bill would also revise and clarify provisions governing the benefits and the terms and conditions of employment of court personnel upon unification of the municipal and superior courts in a county. (4) Existing law prohibits the Sheriff of Humboldt County from diverting personnel or other resources allocated to the County Security Services Division by the annual budget adopted by the board of supervisors, except for emergency purposes, as specified. This bill would delete that provision. (5) This bill would provide that its provisions are severable. (6) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed $1,000,000. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.

(d) If a judge who serves his or her court on a part-time basis has completed the business of the home court for all days affected by any assignment, compensation attributable to the home court shall only be deducted from the amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 68540.7 for the days the judge is serving on assignment to the extent necessary to limit the assigned judge's total judicial compensation for the month to the amount earned by a regular judge of the court to which the judge is assigned. (e) This section shall be repealed on January 1, 2001, unless a later enacted statute enacted before that date extends or deletes that date. SEC. 1.2.

In the event a rating is not completed, the court administrator's rating is deemed to be "merit performance." Adjustments to the court administrator's salary will be in accordance with Part 3, Chapter 6.08, of the Los Angeles County Code. Any existing special pay provision applicable to court classes included in MAP Plan and which is expressed in terms of additional schedules of compensation will be converted to a percentage basis in accordance with the county's plan which equates each schedule with 2.75 percent. Salary adjustments made pursuant to this section shall be on an interim basis and shall expire 90 days after the adjournment of the next regular session of the Legislature unless ratified at such session. Officers and attaches of municipal courts in Los Angeles County shall be entitled to all employee rights, programs and benefits, including, but not limited to, paid medical plans, management incentive, management appraisal and performance plan, deferred compensation plans, flexible benefit plans, and early separation programs, parking and cafeteria privileges, longevity pay, shooting allowance, uniform and equipment allowance, and the same rights to meet with those entities which prescribe their compensation, that are provided for or made applicable to the related Los Angeles County and superior court employee classification. Participation in management incentive early separation programs and management appraisal and performance plan shall be established by joint action and approval of a majority of the board of supervisors and a majority of the judges of the court, except in the Los Angeles Judicial District where joint action shall be approved by a majority of the board of supervisors and a majority of the court's executive board.
