Existing law prohibits a peace officer from making a false statement in a peace officer report, as specified. Existing law exempts from this prohibition any statement in a report that is attributed to a third party. Under existing law, a violation of this prohibition is punishable as either a misdemeanor or a felony. This bill would additionally make it a crime for a peace officer to make a false statement to another peace officer if that statement is included in a peace officer report. The bill would clarify that the exemption for third party statements does not apply to the peace officer writing or making the report, with regard to a false statement that the peace officer included in the report that is attributed to any other person, if the peace officer knows the statement is false and is including the statement to present the statement as being true. By expanding the scope of an existing 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 remove the requirement to produce the alleged minor in a hearing relating to 2 of the specified provisions and would instead require the department to produce the alleged minor decoy, as defined, in a hearing on an accusation charging a licensee with providing alcoholic beverages to a minor.
