INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Wagner

   An act to amend Section 69921 of the Government Code, relating to
courts.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1184, as introduced, Wagner. Superior court security.
   Existing law, the Superior Court Security Act of 2012, requires a
presiding judge to develop, in conjunction with the sheriff or
marshall, an annual or multiyear comprehensive court security plan,
as defined, that includes a mutually agreed upon law enforcement
security plan, as defined, to be utilized by the court. The act
requires the sheriff to attend all superior court sessions held
within his or her county, whenever required, as specified. Existing
law requires the sheriff, with the approval and authorization of the
board of supervisors, and on behalf of the county, in those counties
in which the sheriff's department provides court security services,
to enter into an annual or multiyear memorandum of understanding with
the superior court specifying an agreed-upon level of court security
services and any other agreed-upon governing or operating
procedures. Under the act, the sheriff is responsible for the
necessary level of court security services, as established by the
memorandum of understanding, except as specified.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

enforcement services to the court.
