                        DECEMBER 4, 2012

   An act to amend Section 629.98 of the Penal Code, relating to
wiretapping.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 35, as amended, Pavley. Wiretapping: authorization.
   Existing law establishes a procedure required to be followed by a
prosecutor to apply for, and the court to issue, an order authorizing
law enforcement to intercept a wire or electronic communication.
Existing law requires the Attorney General to prepare and submit an
annual report to the Legislature, the Judicial Council, and the
Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts
regarding these interceptions, as specified. Existing law makes a
violation of these provisions punishable as a misdemeanor or as a
felony. Existing law makes these provisions effective until January
1, 2015.
   This bill would extend the operation of these provisions until
January 1, 2020.
   By extending the operation of provisions of law creating a crime,
this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   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 no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 629.98 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   629.98.  This chapter shall  only  remain in effect
 only  until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is
repealed.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
