An act to amend Section 830.1 of the Penal Code,

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1872, as amended, Gray. Public safety.
Existing law establishes categories of peace officers with varying
powers and authority to make arrests and carry firearms. Under
existing law, in certain counties, a deputy sheriff, who is employed
to perform duties exclusively or initially relating to custodial
assignments with responsibilities for maintaining the operations of
county custodial facilities, is a peace officer whose authority
extends to any place in the state only while engaged in the
performance of the duties of his or her employment and for the
purpose of carrying out the primary function of employment relating
to his or her custodial assignments, or when performing other law
enforcement duties directed by his or her employing agency during a
local state of emergency.
This bill would include deputy sheriffs in the County of Merced
within that definition of peace officers, as specified.
Under existing law, the University of California is established,
under the administration of the Regents of the University of
California, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education
in this state. The University of California provides instruction to
students at campuses in Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced,
Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz.
This bill would appropriate $1,315,000 from the General Fund to
the Regents of the University of California, for allocation to the
University of California, Merced, for various public safety purposes.
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
