LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 387, as amended, Alanis. Juries: voir dire: probation officers. Nevaeh Youth Sports Safety Act.

Existing law, the Nevaeh Youth Sports Safety Act, requires a youth sports organization to ensure, by January 1, 2027, that its athletes have access to an automated external defibrillator (AED) during any official practice or match.

This bill would require that these athletes have access to an AED during any official practice or match at a location where an AED already exists or at any public or private local facility with a permanent sports infrastructure, as defined, used for youth sports programs. The bill would require the public or private local facility with a permanent sports infrastructure used for youth sports to procure and maintain the AED and ensure that the youth sports organization has access to the AED.

The Trial Jury Selection and Management Act prescribes procedures for the selection of jurors and the formation of trial juries for both civil and criminal cases in all trial courts. Existing law requires the jury commissioner of each county to randomly select jurors for jury panels to be sent to courtrooms for voir dire. Existing law prohibits specified peace officers from being selected for voir dire in civil or criminal matters.

This bill would provide that in addition to those specified peace officers, probation officers, as defined, may not be selected for voir dire in criminal matters.
