Public safety omnibus.
Summary
(1) Existing law establishes the Board of State and Community Corrections to provide statewide leadership, coordination, and technical assistance to promote effective state and local efforts and partnerships in California's adult and juvenile criminal justice system. The duties of the board, among others, include establishing standards for local correctional facilities and correctional officers. Under existing law, the board is composed of 15 members, as specified, and 7 members constitutes a quorum. This bill would instead require 8 members to constitute a quorum. (2) Existing law creates within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation the Prison Industry Authority. This bill would rename the Prison Industry Authority as the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority, would rename the Prison Industry Board as the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Board, would rename the Prison Industries Revolving Fund as the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Revolving Fund, and would require that any reference to the Prison Industry Authority be deemed a reference to the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority. (3) Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court over minors who are between 12 and 17 years of age, who have violated a federal, state, or local law or ordinance, as specified, and over minors under 12 years of age who have been alleged to have committed specified crimes. Existing law authorizes a juvenile court to adjudge a person under these circumstances to be a ward of the court. Existing law authorizes the juvenile court to permit a person adjudged a ward of the juvenile court, or placed on probation by the juvenile court, to reside in a county other than their county of legal residence. Existing law authorizes a ward who is permitted to reside in a county other than their county of legal residence to be supervised by the probation officer of the county of actual residence, with the consent of that probation officer. This bill would clarify that these provisions apply to wards discharged to probation supervision after having been confined in a secure youth treatment facility, or after having been transferred to a less restrictive program from a secure youth treatment facility. (4) Existing law authorizes any county or court to implement a "comprehensive collection program" as a separate revenue collection activity, and requires the program to meet certain criteria, one of which is that the program engages in specified activities in collecting fines or penalties, including, among other things, initiating a driver's license suspension or hold, as specified. This bill would delete initiating suspensions or holds for driver's licenses from the list of activities in which the program may engage. (5) Various provisions of the Health and Safety Code, Penal Code, and Welfare and Institutions Code, among others, refer to training and other requirements related to "deescalation techniques." This bill would revise all references to "deescalation" to "de-escalation." (6) The bill would also make other technical changes, both conforming and nonsubstantive.

MINOR
This diff shows the transition of SB 857 from its final chaptered (enrolled) form as Chapter 241, approved by the Governor on October 1, 2025, to the bill text format. The visible portion consists entirely of removed lines from the chaptered version, which included the full public safety omnibus bill covering corrections board quorum changes, prison industry authority renaming, juvenile court jurisdiction clarifications, school behavioral health training requirements, security guard use-of-force training, and protective order firearm relinquishment provisions. Because the diff is truncated (showing only 952 of 11,121 lines), the added content in the new version is not visible, making it impossible to confirm whether any substantive policy changes were made beyond the format transition.
TECHNICAL
The entire chaptered/enrolled bill formatting was removed, including the 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' header, Chapter 241 designation, legislative counsel's digest, and page numbering. This is a format change from the final enrolled law back to bill text format.
