INTRODUCED BY Senator Galgiani
FEBRUARY 19, 2016
An act to amend Section 12300 of the Fish and Game Code,
relating to Native Americans. 14215 of the Penal Code,
relating to missing persons.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1330, as amended, Galgiani. California Indian tribe
members. Missing persons.
Existing law requires the Attorney General to maintain a directory
of at-risk missing persons. Existing law requires police or sheriff
departments, if there is evidence that a missing person is at-risk,
to broadcast a bulletin within its jurisdiction. Existing law defines
at-risk as including, among other things, a missing person who is
mentally impaired.
This bill would clarify that an at-risk includes a person who is
cognitively impaired or developmentally disabled.
Existing law, except as specified, exempts members of California
Indian tribes from laws regulating fish and wildlife while on the
tribal reservation.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
