Interim County Administor Costa
DATE: May 8, 1984 CoU rly
SUBJECT: SUPPORT FOR SB 2246, SB 2247 AND SB :2248 (SENATOR SEYMOUR)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation
Support SB 2246, SB 2247 and SB 2248 introduced by Senator Seymour.
Background
Pursuant to the Board Order of April 24, 1984, proposed by Supervisor Torlakson, the
above bills were referred to the County Administrator's Office for review and recommendation.
SB 2246 amends Penal Code Section 459 relating to burglary to delete the requirement that
a vehicle be locked. This revision would expedite the prosecution of certain burglary cases.
No major cost impact is anticipated.
SB 2247 provides for the imposition of an additional $1 penalty assessment upon fines,
penalties and forfeitures collected by the courts for public offenses, to provide for the
establishment of a County Criminal Prosecution Fund to be used to defray the costs of
criminal prosecution. Based upon current penalty assessment collections, this bill would
generate approximately $600,000 annually in this County.
SB 2248 would prohibit as a felony, the manufacture, importation, sale, giving, lending,
or possession of any device designed to be used as a weapon which is capable of inflicting
an electrical charge of such magnitude that the victim can be or is temporarily immobilized.
Specified peace officers are exempted. The purpose of this bill is to assist in keeping
such a weapon out of the hands of those other than law enforcement officers.
The District Attorney and the State District Attorneys' Association are supporting this
legislation.
