SB 857: Public safety omnibus.
This bill makes several changes to various California codes, primarily focused on public safety. It updates the board of state and community corrections to require a quorum of 8 members, rather than 7. The bill also renames and reorganizes several state agencies, including the prison industry authority and the youth treatment facilities. Additionally, it clarifies the jurisdiction of juvenile courts and modifies the requirements for "comprehensive collection programs" that collect fines and penalties. Furthermore, the bill revises references to "deescalation techniques" to "de-escalation" in several codes. Overall, these changes aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of California's public safety systems.
