California Legislature—2013–14 Regular Session

Assembly Bill No. 1585

Introduced by Assembly Members Alejo and Campos

(Coauthor: Assembly Member Skinner)

February 3, 2014

An act to amend Sections 8712, 8811, and 8908 of the Family Code, and to amend Section 11105 of, and to add Section 1203.49 to, the Penal Code, relating to human trafficking.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1585, as amended, Alejo. Human trafficking.

Existing law defines and proscribes the crimes of human trafficking, solicitation, and prostitution. Existing law authorizes a court, in its discretion and in the interests of justice, to grant various forms of relief to a petitioner who completes conditions of probation, including the dismissal of the accusation or information against that person.

Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain state summary criminal history information, and to furnish that information to specified entities for various purposes, including for purposes of fulfilling employment, licensing, and certification requirements. Existing law also authorizes the State Department of Social Services and county or licensed adoption agencies to secure a person’s full criminal record in connection with an adoption application, as specified.

This bill would provide that if a defendant has been convicted of solicitation or prostitution and has completed any term of probation for that conviction, the defendant may petition the court for relief if the defendant can establish by clear and convincing evidence that the conviction was the result of his or her status as a victim of human trafficking, and would authorize a court to issue an order that (1) sets forth a finding that the defendant was a victim of human trafficking, as specified, (2) dismisses the accusation or information against the defendant, or orders other relief, and (3) notifies the department that the defendant was a victim of human trafficking when he or she committed the crime and the relief that has been ordered.

The bill would also exclude records of conviction for which the relief described above has been granted from the criminal records that may be disseminated for various purposes, including the full criminal record obtained in connection with an adoption application.

SECTION 1.  

Section 8712 of the Family Code is amended to
read:

8712.  

(a) The department, county adoption agency, or licensed
adoption agency shall require each person who files an application
for adoption to be fingerprinted and shall secure from an
appropriate law enforcement agency any criminal record of that
person to determine whether the person has ever been convicted
of a crime other than a minor traffic violation. The department,
county adoption agency, or licensed adoption agency may also
secure the person’s full criminal record, if any, with the exception
of any convictions for which relief has been granted pursuant to
Section 1203.49 of the Penal Code. Any federal-level criminal
offender record requests to the Department of Justice shall be
submitted with fingerprint images and related information required
by the Department of Justice for the purposes of obtaining
information as to the existence and content of a record of an
out-of-state or federal conviction or arrest of a person or
information regarding any out-of-state or federal crimes or arrests
for which the Department of Justice establishes that the person is
free on bail, or on his or her own recognizance pending trial or
appeal. The Department of Justice shall forward to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation any requests for federal summary criminal
history information received pursuant to this section. The
Department of Justice shall review the information returned from
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and shall compile and
disseminate a response to the department, county adoption agency,
or licensed adoption agency.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), the criminal record, if any,
shall be taken into consideration when evaluating the prospective
adoptive parent, and an assessment of the effects of any criminal
history on the ability of the prospective adoptive parent to provide
adequate and proper care and guidance to the child shall be
included in the report to the court.

(c) (1) Under no circumstances shall the department, county
adoption agency, or licensed adoption agency give final approval
for an adoptive placement in any home where the prospective
adoptive parent or any adult living in the prospective adoptive
home has either of the following:

abuse, crimes against a child, including child pornography, or for
a crime involving violence, including rape, sexual assault, or
homicide, but not including other physical assault and battery. For

fingerprinting or for checking or obtaining the criminal record of

prospective adoptive parents for at least one year, or if necessary
