AB 1184

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law, the Superior Court Security Act of 2012, requires a presiding judge to develop, in conjunction with the sheriff or marshall, an annual or multiyear comprehensive court security plan, as defined, that includes a mutually agreed upon law enforcement security plan, as defined, to be utilized by the court. The act requires the sheriff to attend all superior court sessions held within his or her county, whenever required, as specified. Existing law requires the sheriff, with the approval and authorization of the board of supervisors, and on behalf of the county, in those counties in which the sheriff's department provides court security services, to enter into an annual or multiyear memorandum of understanding with the superior court specifying an agreed-upon level of court security services and any other agreed-upon governing or operating procedures. Under the act, the sheriff is responsible for the necessary level of court security services, as established by the memorandum of understanding, except as specified. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
