Overview
This bill, SB 1427, makes significant changes to California’s public safety system. It alters how in-custody deaths are investigated, requiring independent medical examiners or private providers to determine the circumstances of death instead of the combined sheriff-coroner. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘gravely disabled’ for conservatorship proceedings, streamlines the process for renewing firearm licenses, and broadens the definition of a foreign corporation for business purposes. Finally, it addresses reimbursement for state-mandated local programs related to public safety.
Key provisions
- Removes the requirement for annual service agreements between county boards of supervisors and medical examiners/providers for determining in-custody death circumstances.
- Clarifies the definition of ‘gravely disabled’ for conservatorship proceedings, encompassing both definitions from existing law.
- Broadens the definition of a ‘foreign corporation’ to include any corporation transacting intrastate business, excluding California corporations.
- Broadens the definition of ‘properly served’ for search warrants to include reasonable means of notification for non-qualified foreign corporations.
- Requires all applicants for concealed firearm licenses to undergo an interview, unless the application is for renewal.
- Clarifies that provisions prohibiting prohibited substances, firearms, and explosives in juvenile halls and youth treatment facilities also apply to secure youth treatment facilities.
