BILL NUMBER: SB 303	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Knight

                        FEBRUARY 15, 2013

   An act to amend Section 25905 of the Penal Code, relating to peace
officers.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 303, as introduced, Knight. Peace officers: identification
certificates.
   Existing law requires that any peace officer who has been
honorably retired be issued an identification certificate by the law
enforcement agency from which the officer has retired.
   This bill would require that if the agency from which the officer
has retired is no longer providing law enforcement services or the
relevant governmental body is unincorporated, the agency that
subsequently provides law enforcement services for that jurisdiction
shall issue the identification certificate to that peace officer.
    By imposing additional duties on local law enforcement agencies,
this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 25905 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   25905.  (a) Any peace officer described in Section 25900 who has
been honorably retired shall be issued an identification certificate
by the law enforcement agency from which the officer has retired.
 If the agency from which the officer has retired is no longer
providing law enforcement services or the relevant governmental body
is unincorporated, the agency that subsequently provides law
enforcement services for that jurisdiction shall issue the
identification certificate to that peace officer. 
   (b) The issuing agency may charge a fee necessary to cover any
reasonable expenses incurred by the agency in issuing certificates
pursuant to Sections 25900, 25910, 25925, and this section.
   (c) Any officer, except an officer listed in Section 830.1 or
830.2, subdivision (a) of Section 830.33, or subdivision (c) of
Section 830.5 who retired prior to January 1, 1981, shall have an
endorsement on the identification certificate stating that the
issuing agency approves the officer's carrying of a loaded firearm.
   (d) An honorably retired peace officer listed in Section 830.1 or
830.2, subdivision (a) of Section 830.33, or subdivision (c) of
Section 830.5 who retired prior to January 1, 1981, shall not be
required to obtain an endorsement from the issuing agency to carry a
loaded firearm.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because a
local agency or school district has the authority to levy service
charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or
level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section
17556 of the Government Code.
