Public safety.

(1) Existing law makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $2,000, imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment, to fail to visit and remove all animals from traps at least once daily. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $1,000, imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by both that fine and imprisonment, to set or maintain traps that do not bear a number or other identifying mark, as specified. This bill would instead provide that setting or maintaining traps that do not bear a number or other identifying mark, as specified, is punishable by a fine of not more than $2,000, imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment, and that failing to visit and remove all animals from traps at least once daily is punishable by a fine of $1,000, imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by both that fine and imprisonment. (2) Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain a statewide telecommunications system of communication for the use of law enforcement agencies. The system is under the direction of the Attorney General. Existing law requires the Attorney General to appoint an advisory committee on the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System to advise and assist in the management of the system. The committee serves at the pleasure of the Attorney General, without compensation, except for reimbursement of necessary travel expenses. Existing law requires the committee to consist of representatives from specified organizations, including from the Department of General Services. This bill would change the membership of the committee by substituting the representative from the Department of General Services with a representative from the Office of Emergency Services. (3) Existing law regulates the operation of personal watercraft, as defined, and imposes various requirements for the manufacture and safe operation of a personal watercraft. Existing law prohibits a person from operating a personal watercraft at any time between the hours from sunset to sunrise. A violation of this provision is an infraction. This bill would exempt marine patrols, harbor police, or emergency personnel in the performance of their duties from that prohibition. (4) Existing law categorizes controlled substances into 5 schedules. Existing law, subject to exceptions, makes it an offense to, among other things, transport specified Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substances, or any Schedule III, IV, or V controlled substance which is a narcotic drug, unless upon written prescription, as specified. Existing law, subject to exceptions, makes it an offense to, among other things, transport specified Schedule III, IV, or V controlled substances which are not a narcotic drug, unless upon written prescription, as specified. Existing law provides that these provisions do not preclude or limit the prosecution of an individual for aiding and abetting the commission of, or conspiring to commit, those prohibited acts. This bill would additionally provide that those provisions do not preclude or limit the prosecution of an individual for acting as an accessory to those prohibited acts. (5) Existing law requires, commencing January 1, 2011, the Department of Justice to establish, implement, and maintain a confirmation program to process fingerprint-based criminal record background clearances on individuals designated by agencies as custodians of records. Existing law requires agencies to designate custodians of records, and to annually notify the department as to the identity of the agencies' custodians of records. This bill would delete that annual notification requirement. (6) Under existing law and until January 1, 2016, California is a party to an interstate compact for juveniles. That compact requires California, among other things, to appoint a commissioner to the Interstate Commission for Juveniles and to create a state council for interstate juvenile supervision. Existing law makes the executive director of the Corrections Standards Authority the compact administrator. This bill, instead, would make the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation the compact administrator. (7) This bill would make other technical, nonsubstantive changes.
