   AB 2571, as introduced, Silva. Peace officers.

by those provisions are peace officers.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.

  SECTION 1.  Section 830 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   830.  Any person who comes within the provisions of this chapter
and who otherwise meets all standards imposed by law on a peace
officer is a peace officer, and notwithstanding any other provision
of law,  no   a  person other than those
designated in this chapter is  not  a peace officer. The
restriction of peace officer functions of any public officer or
employee shall not affect his or her status for purposes of
retirement.
