Existing law requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, in the Department of Justice, to establish and keep updated a continuing education classroom training course relating to law enforcement intervention with mentally disabled persons and requires the course to be developed in consultation with specified groups and entities. Existing law requires the commission to submit a report to the Legislature that contains specified information regarding this training. This bill would require the commission to establish, by July 1, 2015, and keep updated a training course relating to law enforcement interaction with mentally disabled or developmentally disabled persons living within a state mental hospital or state developmental center, as specified. The training course would be required for law enforcement personnel in law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over state mental health hospitals and state developmental centers, as part of the agency's officer training program. By creating new duties for local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law requires specified people, known as mandated reporters, to report cases of elder or dependent adult abuse, as defined. Existing law requires a report to be made to designated investigators of the State Department of State Hospitals or the State Department of Developmental Services, or to the local enforcement agency if the suspected or alleged abuse occurred in a state mental hospital or state developmental center. Existing law also requires mandated reporters in the State Department of Developmental Services to immediately report suspected abuse to the Office of Protective Services or to the local law enforcement agency. Failure to make a report as required by existing law is a misdemeanor. This bill would instead require a report to be made to designated investigators of the State Department of State Hospitals or the State Department of Developmental Services, and also to the local enforcement agency, as specified, if the suspected or alleged abuse or neglect occurred in a state mental hospital or state developmental center and resulted in any specified incidents, including a death or a sexual assault. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would also remove the requirement that mandated reporters in the State Department of Developmental Services immediately report suspected abuse to the Office of Protective Services or to the local law enforcement agency. This bill would also require a local law enforcement agency to coordinate efforts with the designated investigators of the State Department of State Hospitals or the State Department of Developmental Services to provide a response to investigate reports received pursuant to specified provisions. By creating new duties for local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law requires a developmental center to immediately report resident deaths and certain serious injuries, including a sexual assault, to the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the city or county in which the developmental center is located. This bill would specify that a developmental center is required to report that information immediately, but no later than within 2 hours of the mandated reporter observing, obtaining knowledge of, or suspecting abuse. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 4427.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code made by SB 651, to become operative if SB 651 and this bill are both enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2014, and this bill is enacted last. 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 with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
