Contra
FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Costa
DATE: March 4 , 1985 County
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Senate Bill 535
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION;
Adopt a position of support for SB 535 (Watson) which would
repeal authorization for the issuance of a "stay-away" order
which has no specific expiration date on its face.
A
BACKGROUND;
One of the items in the Board' s 1985 legislative program is a
request for legislation that would require an expiration date
on the face of a "stay-away" order so peace officers would
immediately know whether the order is still in force. Senator
Watson had introduced legislation in 1984 which provided for
such a "stay-away" order, but provided that the order was valid
as long as the court had jurisdiction over the defendant. This
presents problems for law enforcement personnel, particularly
at night and on weekends when the courts are closed, because
there is no way to verify whether the court still has
jurisdiction and, therefore, whether the order is still valid.
The Sheriff requested legislation to require that such an
expiration date appear on the face of the order.
Senator Watson has now introduced SB 535 as urgency legislation
to repeal the entire section on "stay-away" orders, thereby
solving the Sheriff ' s problem..
I
Since this bill implements one item on the Board' s 1985
legislative program, it is appropriate for the Board to
indicate its support for SB 1535.
