BILL NUMBER: AB 2580	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Logue

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act to add Section 834.1 to the Penal Code, relating to
felonies.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2580, as introduced, Logue. Felonies: deportation.
   Existing law provides that when there is a reason to believe that
any person arrested for the possession, possession for sale, purchase
for sale, transportation, sale, or giving away of specified
controlled substances may not be a citizen of the United States, the
arresting agency is required to notify the appropriate federal agency
having charge of deportation matters.
   This bill would impose a state-mandated local program by providing
that this notification requirement is also applicable when there is
a reason to believe that any person arrested for any felony offense
may not be a citizen of the United States.
   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.

  SECTION 1.  Section 834.1 is added to the Penal Code, to read:

agency of the United States having charge of deportation matters.
  SEC. 2.  If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local

the Government Code.
