The California Public Records Act requires state and local agencies to make public records available for inspection, subject to certain exceptions. The act specifically requires state and local law enforcement agencies to disclose certain information regarding an incident to a victim, or the victim's authorized representative, unless certain conditions exist. This bill would prohibit a state or local law enforcement agency from requiring a victim of an incident, or the victim's authorized representative, to show proof of the victim's legal presence in this country to obtain the information required to be disclosed by that law enforcement agency, as specified. For identification purposes, the bill would require a state or local law enforcement agency, if it requires identification, to accept certain forms of identification for a victim of an incident, or the victim's authorized representative, to obtain that information.
Existing law authorizes a person who is the subject of a juvenile court record, or the county probation officer, to petition the court for the sealing of the records relating to the person's case, including records in the custody of the juvenile court and the probation officer and any other agencies, including law enforcement agencies and public officials as the petitioner alleges to have custody of the records. Existing law permits the petition to be filed 5 years or more after the jurisdiction of the juvenile court has terminated or, if no petition was filed, 5 years or more after the person was cited to appear before a probation officer or was taken before a probation officer or law enforcement officer, or, in any case, at any time after the person reaches 18 years of age. This provision does not apply if the person was found by the juvenile court to have committed any one of specified serious or violent offenses and the person was 14 years of age or older when he or she committed the offense. Existing law also does not permit the sealing of a person's juvenile court record for an offense if the person has been convicted of that offense in a criminal court, as specified. This bill would require, on and after January 1, 2015, each court and probation department to ensure that information regarding the eligibility for and the procedures to request the sealing and destruction of records is provided to each person for whom a petition has been filed on or after January 1, 2015, to adjudge the person a ward of the juvenile court and to specified other minors who are taken into temporary custody and brought before a probation officer, as specified. The bill would require the Judicial Council, on or before January 1, 2015, to develop related informational materials and a specified form. The bill would specify when the materials and the form are to be provided. By imposing additional duties on local probation departments, the 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
This measure would acknowledge that the State of California made a grievous mistake that injured loyal employees who were dedicated to serving the people of California when it dismissed over 300 Americans of Japanese ancestry as a result of Senate Concurrent Resolution 15 (SCR 15) of 1942 by Senator John Swan. This measure would resolve to issue a public apology to the state civil service employees who were dismissed.
Existing law provides various circumstances that constitute rape, including an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator where the person submits under the belief that the person committing the act is the victim's spouse, and this belief is induced by artifice, pretense, or concealment practiced by the accused, with the intent to induce the belief. Existing law provides various circumstances that constitute sodomy against an individual's will, including an act accomplished with an individual who is not the spouse of the perpetrator where the individual submits under the belief that the individual committing the act is the victim's spouse, and this belief is induced by artifice, pretense, or concealment practiced by the accused, with the intent to induce the belief. This bill would instead provide that these types of rape and sodomy occur where the person submits under the belief that the person committing the act is someone known to the victim other than the accused. By expanding the definition of a crime, 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. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
