Bill overview
This bill amends California law to clarify which individuals are considered peace officers, specifically deputy sheriffs. It expands the definition to include deputy sheriffs employed by the Counties of Amador and Nevada, in addition to those already covered in Butte and Calaveras counties. The bill ensures that these deputy sheriffs have the same authority as other peace officers to enforce the law statewide, subject to certain limitations related to the scope of their employment and local emergencies.
