INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Donnelly
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Grove, Hagman, Harkey, Jones, and
Wagner)
( Coauthor: Senator Knight
)
JANUARY 29, 2013
An act to add Section 38010 to the Education Code, and to amend
Section 6254 of the Government Code, relating to school security.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 202, as amended, Donnelly. School security: School Marshal
Program Plan .
(1) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school
district to establish a security department or a school police
department and authorizes specified moneys transferred into the
general fund of any school district to be used for the training of
persons employed and compensated as members of a police department of
a school district, as specified.
This bill would establish the School Marshal Program
Plan and would authorize school districts,
county offices of education, and charter schools to use general
purpose funds to provide training to a school marshal. The bill would
define a school marshal as a school employee who, in accordance with
the Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 and pursuant to locally adopted
policies, is authorized to possess a firearm at a schoolsite or
designated school activities.
(2) Existing law, the California Public Records Act, requires
state and local agencies to make public records available for
inspection, subject to specified criteria, and with certain
exceptions. Existing law excludes from disclosure certain information
contained in applications for licenses to, and licenses to, carry
firearms submitted by prosecutors, public defenders, peace officers,
judges, court commissioners, and magistrates, to county sheriffs and
the chiefs or other heads of municipal police departments.
This bill would exclude from disclosure the personally
identifiable information set forth in applications for a license to,
and the license to, carry firearms submitted by a school marshal to
the sheriff of a county or the chief or other head of a municipal
police department. By increasing duties on county sheriffs and the
chiefs or other heads of municipal police departments, the bill would
impose a state-mandated local program.
(3) 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.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
