	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1154, Hancock. Peace officers: San Francisco Bay Area Rapid
Transit District Police Department.
   (1) Under existing law, a member of the San Francisco Bay Area
Rapid Transit District Police Department is a peace officer if the
primary duty of the peace officer is the enforcement of the law in or
about the properties of the district.
   Existing law requires every law enforcement agency in the state to
develop, adopt, and implement written policies and standards for
officers' responses to domestic violence calls that encourage the
arrest of domestic violence offenders if there is probable cause that
an offense has been committed. Existing law defines "officer" for
these purposes.
   This bill would include a member of the San Francisco Bay Area
Rapid Transit District Police Department in the definition of
"officer" for the purposes of these provisions. By increasing the
duties of a local agency, this bill would impose a state-mandated
local program.
   (2) Under existing law, a person who willfully, maliciously, and
repeatedly follows or harasses another person and who makes a
credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable
fear for his or her safety, is guilty of the crime of stalking.
Existing law allows a judicial officer to issue an ex parte emergency
protective order if a peace officer, as defined, asserts reasonable
grounds to believe that a person is in immediate and present danger
of stalking, as provided.
   This bill would include a member of the San Francisco Bay Area
Rapid Transit District Police Department in the definition of peace
officer for the purposes of these provisions.
   (3) Existing law requires certain specified peace officers to take
temporary custody of any firearm or other deadly weapon discovered
at the scene of a domestic violence incident involving a threat to
human life or physical assault or if the peace officer is serving a
protective order.
   This bill would include a member of the San Francisco Bay Area
Rapid Transit District Police Department among the peace officers to
whom these provisions apply. By increasing the duties of local peace
officers, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   (4) Existing law authorizes the Sacramento Regional Transit
District, the Fresno Area Express, and, until January 1, 2015, the
San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, to issue a prohibition
order to a person who has been cited on at least 3 separate
occasions, within a period of 90 days, for specified infractions
committed in or on a vehicle, bus stop, or train or light rail
station of the transit district.
   This bill would authorize the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit
District to issue a prohibition order pursuant to the above
provisions until January 1, 2018.
   This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 18250 of
the Penal Code, proposed by AB 1014, to be operative only if AB 1014
and this bill are enacted and become effective on or before January
1, 2015, and this bill is enacted last.
   (5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.

initial review of the prohibition order by the transit district. The
request may be made by telephone, in writing, or in person. There
shall be no charge for this review. In conducting its review and
reaching a determination, the transit district shall determine
whether the prohibition order meets the requirements of subdivision
(a) and, unless the person has been convicted of the offense or
offenses, whether the offense or offenses for which the person was
cited or arrested are proven by a preponderance of the evidence. If,
following the initial review, based on these findings, the transit
district determines that the prohibition order is not adequately
supported or that extenuating circumstances make dismissal of the
prohibition order appropriate in the interest of justice, the transit
district shall cancel the notice. If, following the initial review,
based on these findings, the transit district determines that the
prohibition order should be upheld in whole or in part, the transit
district shall issue a written statement to that effect, including
any modification to the period or scope of the prohibition order. The
transit district shall serve the results of the initial review to
the person contesting the notice by personal service.
   (2) The transit district may modify or cancel a prohibition order
in the interest of justice. The transit district shall cancel a
prohibition order if it determines that the person did not understand
the nature and extent of his or her actions or did not have the
ability to control his or her actions. If the person is dependent
upon the transit system for trips of necessity, including, but not
limited to, travel to or from medical or legal appointments, school
or training classes, places of employment, or obtaining food,
clothing, and necessary household items, the transit district shall
modify a prohibition order to allow for those trips. A person
requesting a cancellation or modification in the interest of justice
shall have the burden of establishing the qualifying circumstances by
a preponderance of the evidence.
   (3) If the person is dissatisfied with the results of the initial
review, the person may request an administrative hearing of the
prohibition order no later than 10 calendar days after the results of
the initial review are delivered by personal service. The request
may be made by telephone, in writing, or in person. An administrative
hearing shall be held within 30 calendar days after the receipt of a
request for an administrative hearing. The person requesting the
hearing may request one continuance, not to exceed seven calendar
days.
   (4) The administrative hearing process shall include all of the
following:
   (A) The person requesting the hearing shall have the choice of a
hearing by mail or in person. An in-person hearing shall be conducted
within the jurisdiction of the transit district.
   (B) The administrative hearing shall be conducted in accordance
with written procedures established by the transit district and
approved by the governing body or chief executive officer of the
transit district. The hearing shall provide an independent,
objective, fair, and impartial review of the prohibition order.
   (C) The administrative review shall be conducted before a hearing
officer designated to conduct the review by the transit district's
governing body or chief executive officer. In addition to any other
requirements, a hearing officer shall demonstrate the qualifications,
training, and objectivity prescribed by the transit agency's
governing body or chief executive officer as are necessary to fulfill
and that are consistent with the duties and responsibilities set
forth in this subdivision. The hearing officer's continued service,
performance evaluation, compensation, and benefits, as applicable,
shall not be directly or indirectly linked to the number of
prohibition orders upheld by the hearing officer.
   (D) The person who issued the notice of prohibition order shall
not be required to participate in an administrative hearing, unless
participation is requested by the person requesting the hearing. The
request for participation must be made at least five calendar days
prior to the date of the hearing and may be made by telephone, in
writing, or in person. The notice of prohibition order, in proper
form, shall be prima facie evidence of the violation or violations
pursuant to subdivision (a) establishing a rebuttable presumption
affecting the burden of producing evidence.
   (E) In issuing a decision, the hearing officer shall determine
whether the prohibition order meets the requirements of subdivision
(a) and, unless the person has been convicted of the offense or
offenses, whether the offense or offenses for which the person was
cited or arrested are proven by a preponderance of the evidence.
Based upon these findings, the hearing officer may uphold the
prohibition order in whole, determine that the prohibition order is
not adequately supported, or cancel or modify the prohibition order
in the interest of justice. The hearing officer shall cancel a
prohibition order if he or she determines that the person did not
understand the nature and extent of his or her actions or did not
have the ability to control his or her actions. If the person is
dependent upon the transit system for trips of necessity, including,
but not limited to, travel to or from medical or legal appointments,
school or training classes, places of employment, or obtaining food,
clothing, and necessary household items, the transit district shall
modify a prohibition order to allow for those trips. A person
requesting a cancellation or modification in the interest of justice
shall have the burden of establishing the qualifying circumstances by
a preponderance of the evidence.
   (F) The hearing officer's decision following the administrative
hearing shall be delivered by personal service.
   (G) A person aggrieved by the final decision of the hearing
officer may seek judicial review of the decision within 90 days of
the date of delivery of the decision by personal service, as provided
by Section 1094.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
   (d) A person issued a prohibition order under subdivision (a) may,
within 10 calendar days of the date the order goes into effect under
paragraph (6) of subdivision (b), request a refund for any prepaid
fare media rendered unusable in whole or in part by the prohibition
order, including, but not limited to, monthly passes. If the fare
media remain usable for one or more days outside the period of the
prohibition order, the refund shall be prorated based on the number
of days the fare media will be unusable. The issuance of a refund may
be made contingent on surrender of the fare media.

Sacramento Regional Transit District or the Fresno Area Express.

district" also means the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit
