Public safety: omnibus.

(1) Existing law provides that, in a criminal action, expert testimony is admissible by either the prosecution or the defense regarding the effects of human trafficking on human trafficking victims. Existing law defines the term "human trafficking" pursuant to a specified provision of the Penal Code. This bill would clarify that the term "human trafficking victim" is defined as a victim of an offense as described in that provision of the Penal Code. (2) Existing law, the End of Life Option Act, authorizes an adult who meets certain qualifications, and who has been determined by his or her attending physician to be suffering from a terminal disease, as defined, to make a request for a drug prescribed pursuant to these provisions for the purpose of ending his or her life. Existing law makes a violation of certain provisions of the act a felony, as specified, and provides that the application of those penalties does not preclude the application of any other criminal penalties under any other law for conduct inconsistent with the provisions of that section. This bill would clarify that the application of those penalties does not preclude the application of any other criminal penalties for conduct inconsistent with the act. (3) Existing law provides that it is a crime, punishable by a fine or imprisonment in county jail, as specified, for any person to possess specified controlled substances, unless upon the prescription of a physician, dentist, podiatrist, or veterinarian licensed to practice in this state. Existing law creates an exemption from the prohibitions for possession of those controlled substances by a person other than the prescription holder if the possession of the controlled substance is at the direction or with the express authorization of the prescription holder, as specified. Existing law, as amended by the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act (Proposition 47) , an initiative measure approved by the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election, generally makes the possession of those controlled substances a misdemeanor, as specified. Existing law codifies these provisions in separate but identically numbered sections. This bill would reorganize these provisions by incorporating all of these nonconflicting provisions into the section as amended by Proposition 47 and would repeal the other section as obsolete. (4) Existing law provides for various penalty provisions related to sex offenders. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions. (5) Existing law establishes procedures that apply in a criminal proceeding in which a defendant is charged with a violation of human trafficking, as defined, with regard to a minor's testimony, as specified. Existing law makes reference in those provisions to alleged sexual offenses relating to human trafficking. This bill would clarify that those provisions relate to alleged offenses relating to human trafficking. (6) Existing law establishes the Council on Mentally Ill Offenders within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, consisting of 12 members, 3 of whom are required to be appointed representing mental health. Existing law requires the council to investigate and promote cost-effective approaches to meeting the long-term needs of adults and juveniles with mental health disorders who are likely to become offenders or who have a history of offending. Existing law requires the council to address the needs of adults and juveniles who have been arrested, detained, incarcerated, or are at significant risk of being arrested, detained, or incarcerated, and who have a mental disorder, as defined. This bill would change the name of the council to the Council on Criminal Justice and Behavioral Health. The bill would revise the above law to direct the appointment of members representing behavioral health and would direct the efforts of the council toward behavioral health needs. For the needs of adults and juveniles who have been arrested, detained, or incarcerated, or who are at significant risk of being arrested, detained, or incarcerated, the bill would direct the council to also address the needs of those who receive substance use disorder services, as defined, that have been determined to be medically necessary. (7) Existing law requires a government entity that executes a warrant, or obtains electronic information in an emergency, as specified, to provide specified notice to the identified targets of the warrant or emergency access that informs the recipient that information about the recipient has been compelled or obtained. However, existing law also authorizes a government entity, without a warrant or other order, to access electronic device information by means of physical interaction or electronic communication with the device for the purpose of accessing information concerning the location or the telephone number of the electronic device in order to respond to an emergency 911 call from that device. This bill would clarify that a government entity is not required to provide the notice described above under circumstances in which the government entity has accessed the electronic information under the emergency 911 authority described above. (8) Existing law places limitations on who may inspect a juvenile case file, as defined. Existing law enumerates the persons or entities that may inspect those case files. This bill would add to that enumerated list the Department of Justice to carry out specified duties related to sex offender registrations.
