SUMMARY : Establishes a position of director within the California
Department of Justice (DOJ) responsible for coordinating
California's response to missing persons.
The Senate amendments delete the Assembly version of this bill, and
instead:
1)Require the DOJ to establish a Director position responsible for
coordinating California's response to missing persons.
Specifically, this position is required to:
a) Assist law enforcement agencies, at their request, with the
timely search and recovery of at-risk abducted children;
b) Maintain up-to-date knowledge and expertise of those
protocols, best practices, and technologies that are most
effective for recovering missing children in a timely manner;
c) Maintain relationships with federal, state, and local law
enforcement agencies and other entities responsible for the
investigation of missing persons in the state; and,
d) Maintain records and make the Commission on Peace Officer
Standard and Training Guidelines for Handling Missing Persons
Investigations document available to law enforcement agencies

upon their request.
2)Require the Director to use existing resources within the
Attorney General's Office to the extent possible to accomplish
the stated purposes.
EXISTING LAW :
1)Requires the Attorney General (AG) to establish and maintain the
Violent Crime Information Center to assist in the identification
and the apprehension of persons responsible for specific violent
crimes and the disappearance and exploitation of persons.
2)Requires the AG to establish and maintain an online automated
computer system designed to effect an immediate law enforcement
response to reports of missing persons. This information is
available to law enforcement agencies unless the reporting agency
requests the information not be released because it would impair
a criminal investigation.
3)Requires the AG to establish the Missing and Exploited Children's
Recovery Network. This network consists of a computer system
which electronically transmits a missing child poster, containing
the name, personal description and picture of the mission child
to all state and local law enforcement agencies. The AG shall
work in cooperation with the National Center for Mission and
Exploited Children to develop and implement a network that can
electronically interface with the National Network.
4)Requires the California Highway Patrol to activate the Emergency
Alert System where a child under the age of 18, or a person who
has a proven physical or mental disability, has been abducted and
is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill authorized the Ventura Unified
School District to deposit $10 million of the proceeds from the
sale of surplus real property, together with any personal property
located on that property, purchased entirely with local funds and
sold before January 1, 2005, into the general fund of the school
district and use the proceeds from the sale for any one-time
general fund purpose.
FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Senate Appropriations Committee,
the new DOJ position is up to $112,000 for 2010-11, up to $208,000
AB 1022

for 2011-12, and up to $208,000 for 2012-13.
COMMENTS : This bill was substantially amended in the Senate and
the Assembly-approved provisions of this bill were deleted. This
bill, as amended in the Senate is inconsistent with Assembly
actions.
