bill related to the budget.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 85, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Public safety.
(1) Existing law establishes the Department of the California
Highway Patrol, which is under the control of a civil executive
officer, known as the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol.
Under existing law, the commissioner is required to, among other
things, enforce all laws regulating the operation of vehicles and the
use of the highways, except as provided.
This bill would require, on or before January 1, 2016, the
department to develop a plan for implementing a body-worn camera
pilot program. The bill would require that plan to examine, among
other things, the minimum specifications for body-worn cameras to be
utilized in a body-worn camera program, best practices for officer
review of recorded body-worn camera data, and best practices for
sharing recorded body-worn camera data internally and externally.
(2) Existing law designates official state holidays, including
Native American Day. Existing law makes those state holidays, with
certain exceptions, judicial holidays.
This bill would additionally exclude Native American Day from the
list of judicial holidays.
(3) Existing law establishes in the State Treasury the Local
Revenue Fund 2011, a continuously appropriated fund, and requires
that its funds be allocated exclusively for public safety services,
as defined. Existing law creates the Enhancing Law Enforcement
Activities Subaccount in that fund and further creates the Enhancing
Law Enforcement Activities Growth Special Account in that subaccount.
Existing law requires each county to establish in the county
treasury various corresponding subaccounts and special accounts for
the receipt of funds allocated to a county for specified local law
enforcement purposes.
Existing law allocates specified funds on August 25 of each year
from the Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Growth Special Account
to the corresponding subaccount at the county level, including the
following: 27.08% for purposes that include jail construction and
operation and criminal prosecution; 27.08% to implement multiagency
juvenile justice plans; and 7.44% to counties that operate juvenile
camps and ranches, based on the number of beds in each camp. Existing
law allocates these funds to counties pursuant to a schedule
provided by the Department of Finance for these purposes.
This bill would delete the requirement that the funds be allocated
on August 25 of each year and would make other technical changes.
(4) Existing law establishes in each county treasury a
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA) and requires
the county auditor to allocate moneys in the SLESA in a prescribed
manner to counties and cities located within the county for the
purpose of funding specified public safety programs. Existing law
requires a local agency that receives SLESA moneys to expend or
encumber those moneys no later than June 30 of the fiscal year
following receipt. Existing law requires a local agency that does not
meet that requirement to remit unspent SLESA moneys for deposit in
the County Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount.
This bill would, beginning July 1, 2015, eliminate the deadline
for a local agency to expend or encumber SLESA moneys. This bill
would require the county auditor to redirect unspent SLESA moneys
that were remitted after July 1, 2012, to the County Enhancing Law
Enforcement Activities Subaccount to the agency that remitted the
moneys, as specified.
(5) Existing law, until July 1, 2015, imposes a supplemental fee
of $40 for filing first papers in certain civil proceedings, subject
to reduction if the amount of the General Fund appropriation to the
Trial Court Trust Fund is decreased from the amount appropriated in
the 2013-14 fiscal year.
This bill would extend the operation of the supplemental fee until
July 1, 2018.
(6) Existing law, until July 1, 2015, requires a $1,000 fee to be
paid on behalf of all plaintiffs, and by each defendant, intervenor,
respondent, or adverse party to a civil action that is designated or
determined to be a complex case. On and after July 1, 2015, existing
law requires a fee of $550 to be paid under those circumstances.
Existing law, until July 1, 2015, imposes a limitation of $18,000 on
the total amount of complex fees collected from all defendants,
intervenors, respondents, or other adverse parties appearing in a
complex case. On and after July 1, 2015, existing law imposes a
limitation of $10,000 on the amount of the fee required to be paid in
those circumstances.
This bill would extend the operation of the $1,000 complex case
fee and the $18,000 total fee limitation to July 1, 2018, thereby
extending that higher fee rate and limitation by 3 years.
(7) Under existing law, the uniform fee for filing any specified
motion, application, order to show cause, or any other paper
requiring a hearing subsequent to the first paper is $60 until July
1, 2015, at which time that fee is reduced to $40.
This bill would extend the operation of the $60 filing fee to July
1, 2018, thereby extending that higher fee by 3 years.
(8) Existing law, the California Community Corrections Performance
Incentives Act of 2009, authorizes each county to establish a
Community Corrections Performance Incentives Fund, and authorizes the
state to annually allocate moneys into a State Community Corrections
Performance Incentives Fund to be used for specified purposes
relating to improving local probation supervision practices and
capacities. Existing law requires the Director of Finance, in
consultation with specified other entities, to calculate a baseline
probation failure rate, which is the average number of adult felony
probationers sent to state prison during the 2006 to 2008 calendar
years, as a percentage of the weighted average of the population of
adult felony probationers during the same period. Existing law
requires the Director of Finance, in consultation with those
entities, to calculate, on a yearly basis, a statewide probation
failure rate, and a probation rate for each county, based on the
percentage of adult felony probationers sent to state prison or to a
county jail as a percentage of the average statewide or county adult
felony probation population, respectively, as specified. Existing law
requires the Director of Finance, in consultation with those
entities, to estimate the number of adult felony probationers each
county successfully prevented from being incarcerated, based on each
county's probation failure rate and the county's baseline probation
failure rate, taking into account specified changes in each county's
adult felony probation caseload, as specified.
This bill would recast those requirements to eliminate the
requirement that the director calculate a baseline probation failure
rate. The bill would require the director to calculate the statewide
probation failure rate and the probation failure rate for a county
based only on the total number of adult felony probationers sent to
state prison. The bill would require the director to estimate the
number of adult felony probationers, felons on mandatory supervision,
and felons on postrelease community supervision successfully
prevented from being incarcerated in state prison, based only on a
county's probation failure rate, mandatory supervision failure rate,
and postrelease community supervision failure rate. The bill would
also require the director to calculate a combined statewide return to
prison rate and a combined individual county return to prison rate,
as specified.
(9) Existing law requires the Director of Finance, in consultation
with specified other entities, to develop a revised formula for
performance incentive funding related to the act that takes into
account changes to the eligibility of some felony probationers for
revocation to the state prison that results from implementation of
the 2011 Public Safety Realignment, for the purpose of providing
incentive funding for a county probation department that is
successful in reducing postrelease community supervision and
mandatory supervision failure rates. Existing law requires the
director and those entities to calculate a probation failure
reduction incentive payment under a tier-based system based on a
county's probation failure rate, as specified.
This bill would eliminate the tier-based system described above
and would recast the calculation of the probation failure reduction
incentive payment as a statewide performance payment that is
calculated as a specified percentage of the highest year of funding
that a county received from the California Community Corrections
Performance Incentives Grant Program from the 2011-12 fiscal year to
the 2014-15 fiscal year, inclusive. The bill would provide that the
percentage used to calculate the statewide performance incentive
payment for a county shall be based on that county's return to prison
rate, as specified.
(10) Existing law requires the Director of Finance, in
consultation with specified other entities, to calculate a high
performance grant payment, as specified, for the purpose of providing
performance-based funding for a county that demonstrates a high
success rate with reducing recidivism among adult felony
probationers.
This bill would eliminate the high performance grant payment
described above, and would instead require the director to calculate
a yearly county performance incentive payment that is based on the
estimated number of felons on probation, subject to mandatory
supervision, and subject to postrelease community supervision that
were successfully prevented from being incarcerated in state prison,
multiplied by 35% of the cost to incarcerate a felony prison offender
in a contract prison facility.
(11) Existing law requires the Department of Finance to distribute
the moneys remaining in the State Community Corrections Performance
Incentives Fund after the calculation and award of the probation
failure reduction incentive payments and high performance grant
payments described above to qualifying counties.
This bill would eliminate the requirement of distribution of those
moneys, and instead require the Department of Finance to increase to
a total of no more than $200,000 the award of a county's statewide
performance incentive payment and county performance incentive
payment if that county's payment totals less than $200,000. The bill
would further require the Department of Finance to adjust the award
amount, up to $200,000 per county, to counties that did not receive a
statewide performance incentive payment and county performance
incentive payment. By increasing the amount of funds that a county
may receive from the continuously appropriated State Community
Corrections Performance Incentives Fund, the bill would make an
appropriation. The bill would require counties to provide specified
information to the Judicial Council in order to receive these
increases in award amounts.
(12) Existing law requires the Administrative Office of the
Courts, in consultation with specified other entities, to provide a
quarterly statistical report to the Department of Finance that
includes specified information, including the number of felons who
had their postrelease community supervision revoked and were sent to
a county jail for that revocation.
This bill would instead require the Judicial Council to provide
the quarterly statistical information. The bill would provide that
the information related to felons on postrelease community
supervision who had their postrelease community supervision revoked
and were sent to a county jail shall not include felons who are
subject to flash incarceration, as specified.
(13) Existing law authorizes each county to establish a Community
Corrections Performance Incentives Fund, and authorizes the state to
annually allocate moneys into a State Community Corrections
Performance Incentives Fund to be used for specified purposes
relating to improving local probation supervision practices and
capacities. Existing law creates the Recidivism Reduction Fund in the
State Treasury to be available upon appropriation by the Legislature
for activities designed to reduce the state's prison population, and
authorizes funds available in the Recidivism Reduction Fund to be
transferred to the State Community Corrections Performance Incentives
Fund.
Existing law, upon agreement to accept funding from the Recidivism
Reduction Fund, requires a county board of supervisors, in
collaboration with the county's Community Corrections Partnership, to
develop, administer, and collect and submit data to the Board of
State and Community Corrections regarding a competitive grant program
intended to fund community recidivism and crime reduction services,
including, but not limited to, delinquency prevention, homelessness
prevention, and reentry services. Existing law requires the funding
to be allocated to counties from the Budget Act of 2014 by the State
Controller's Office according to a specified allocation schedule.
Existing law requires that any funds not encumbered with a community
recidivism and crime reduction service provider one year after
allocation of grant funds to counties immediately revert to the state
General Fund.
This bill would enact a revised schedule allocating funds to
counties from the Budget Act of 2015 that would reduce each
allocation by 50%. The bill would also delete the requirement that
any funds not encumbered with a community recidivism and crime
reduction service provider one year after allocation of grant funds
to counties immediately revert to the state General Fund. The bill
would require any funds in the Recidivism Reduction Fund that are not
encumbered by June 30, 2016, to revert to the General Fund upon
order of the Department of Justice. The bill would also abolish the
Recidivism Reduction Fund once all funds encumbered in the fund are
liquidated.
(14) Existing law prohibits a person from being tried or adjudged
to punishment while that person is mentally incompetent. Existing law
establishes a process by which a defendant's mental competency is
evaluated and by which the defendant receives treatment, including,
if applicable, antipsychotic medication, with the goal of returning
the defendant to competency. Existing law requires that the court
order the defendant to be delivered to a treatment facility, and,
until January 1, 2016, defines "treatment facility" to include a
county jail for these purposes. Existing law, until January 1, 2016,
authorizes certain medications to be provided to a defendant in a
county jail if he or she is mentally incompetent and unable to
provide informed consent due to a mental disorder. Existing law,
until January 1, 2016, limits to 6 months the maximum period of time
a defendant may be treated in a treatment facility.
This bill would delete that January 1, 2016, repeal date, thereby
extending the operation of these provisions indefinitely.
(15) If a mentally incompetent defendant is sent to a county jail
for treatment, existing law requires the State Department of State
Hospitals to provide treatment at the county jail treatment facility
and to reimburse the county jail treatment facility for the
reasonable cost of the bed during treatment.
This bill would, upon approval by the State Department of State
Hospitals and an appropriation in the Budget Act, authorize the
county jail treatment facility to provide restoration of competency
services and would allow the department to reimburse the county for
these services and the reasonable costs of any necessary medical
treatment not provided within the county jail treatment facility.
This bill would, if the county jail is used as a treatment facility,
require the county to provide for transportation of the defendant to
the county jail treatment facility unless otherwise agreed to by the
State Department of State Hospitals and the facility. This bill would
require the State Department of State Hospitals and a county jail
treatment facility, if found to be comparatively at fault for any
claim, action, loss, or damage which results from their obligations,
to indemnify the other to the extent of their comparative fault.
(16) Existing law establishes the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to oversee the state prison system. Existing law
requires the department to develop policies related to contraband
interdiction efforts for individuals entering department facilities.
This bill would require those policies to ensure visitors are
informed further potential search or visitation options and to
consider the use of full-body scanners. The bill would further
require that the department, after 2 years of implementation of the
policies it creates pursuant to this bill, conduct an evaluation of
the policy.
(17) Existing law establishes the Commission on Correction Peace
Officer Standards and Training (the CPOST) within the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation. Existing law requires the executive
board of the CPOST to be comprised of 6 voting members, 3 appointed
by the department and 3 appointed by the Governor. Existing law
requires that one of the department's appointees represent the
Division of Juvenile Facilities. Existing law requires each
appointing authority to appoint an alternate for each regular member
it appoints, and requires the alternate to possess the same
qualifications as the regular member and to substitute for, and vote
in place of, the regular member whenever he or she is absent.
Existing law requires the CPOST to appoint an executive director.
This bill would instead, commencing July 1, 2015, require that one
of the department's appointees represent the Division of Juvenile
Justice or the Division of Rehabilitative Programs within the
department. The bill would instead require alternate members to
possess the same qualifications as a regular member and to substitute
for, and vote in place of, a regular member who was appointed by the
same appointing authority whenever that regular member is absent.
The bill would delete the requirement that the CPOST appoint an
executive director. The bill would require the CPOST executive board
to seek advice from national experts, including university and
college institutions and correctional associations, on issues
pertaining to adult corrections, juvenile justice, and the training
of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation staff that are
relevant to its mission.
(18) Existing law, until January 1, 2017, allows the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation to use a training academy established
for the California City Correctional Center.
This bill would extend that provision indefinitely.
(19) Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to provide 16 weeks of training to each correctional
peace officer cadet prior to his or her assignment to a post or
position as a correctional peace officer. If an agreement is reached
between the department and the bargaining unit for the correction
peace officers, existing law allows the department, with the approval
of the CPOST, to have cadets sworn in as correctional peace officers
upon completion of 12 weeks of training and complete the final 4
weeks of training at the institution where the cadet is assigned to a
post or position.
This bill would, commencing July 1, 2015, require the department
to instead provide 480 hours of training to each correctional peace
officer cadet. The bill would require the CPOST to determine the
on-the-job training requirements for correctional peace officers.
(20) Existing law requires a county to establish a one-time
amnesty program for fines and bail due on or before January 1, 2009,
for certain infraction or misdemeanor violations of the Vehicle Code
and the Penal Code. Existing law allows a person owing a fine or bail
that was eligible for amnesty under this program to pay to the
superior or juvenile court 50% of the total fine or bail, as defined,
which is required to be accepted by the court in full satisfaction
of the delinquent fine or bail. Under existing law, the amnesty
program was required to accept these payments from January 1, 2012,
until June 30, 2012.
This bill would require a county to establish a similar amnesty
program for fines and bail initially due on or before January 1,
2013, to be conducted in accordance with guidelines adopted by the
Judicial Council. The bill would require the program to accept
payments between October 1, 2015, to March 31, 2017, inclusive, and
would authorize a participant to receive an additional reduction in
his or her repayment amount if the participant certifies, under
penalty of perjury, that he or she receives specified public
assistance programs or that his or her monthly income is 125% or less
of the current poverty guidelines. By requiring each county to
establish and operate an amnesty program, and by expanding the scope
of the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated
local program. The bill would, following the transfer to the Judicial
Council of the first $250,000 received, increase the percentage of
specified penalties to be deposited in the Peace Officers' Training
Fund and the Corrections Training Fund, which are continuously
appropriated funds. By increasing the amount of money deposited into
continuously appropriated funds, this bill would make an
appropriation.
(21) Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to close the California Rehabilitation Center located
in Norco, California, no later than December 31, 2016, or 6 months
after the construction of 3 Level II dorm facilities, whichever is
earlier. Existing law suspends this requirement pending a review by
the Department of Finance and the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation that determines the facility can be closed.
This bill would require the Department of Finance and the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to release a report that
provides an updated comprehensive plan for the state prison system,
including a permanent solution to the decaying infrastructure of the
California Rehabilitation Center. The bill would require the report
to be submitted with the Governor's 2016-17 Budget to the Assembly
Committee on Appropriations, the Assembly Committee on Budget, the
Senate Committee on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Budget
and Fiscal Review, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
(22) Existing law establishes the State Department of
Developmental Services and sets forth its powers and duties relating
to the administration of state developmental centers. Existing law
establishes the State Department of State Hospitals and sets forth
its powers and duties relating to the administration of state
hospitals. Existing law establishes the Office of Law Enforcement
Support within the California Health and Human Services Agency for
the purpose of improving and providing oversight of various law
enforcement activities within the State Department of Developmental
Services and the State Department of State Hospitals.
This bill would require the Office of Law Enforcement Support to
investigate specified incidents at a developmental center or state
hospital, including any incident that involves developmental center
or state hospital law enforcement personnel and that meets certain
criteria. The bill would also provide that the Office of Law
Enforcement Support be responsible for contemporaneous oversight of
specified investigations by the State Department of State Hospitals
and the State Department of Developmental Service. The bill would
require reports written upon completion of that review to be
confidential.
The bill would require the Office of Law Enforcement Support to
issue regular reports, no less than semiannually, summarizing the
investigations it conducted and its oversight of investigations, as
specified.
Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that
limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the
writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings
demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need
for protecting that interest.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
(23) Existing law generally requires the nontreatment costs of
trials and hearings related to persons confined in a state hospital
to be paid by the state to the county where the trial or hearing was
had, except that existing law requires the county of commitment to
pay these costs if the hearing is for an order seeking the
involuntary treatment with psychotropic medication of a person
confined in a state hospital as a condition of parole who is subject
to an order for continued treatment beyond his or her period of
parole.
This bill would additionally require the county of commitment to
pay the county where the proceeding is held for the nontreatment
costs associated with any hearing for an order seeking involuntary
treatment with psychotropic medication of a person confined in a
state hospital after being found not guilty by reason of insanity.
(24) Existing law establishes state hospitals for the care,
treatment, and education of mentally disordered persons, which are
under the jurisdiction of the State Department of State Hospitals.
Commencing July 1, 2015, and subject to available funding, existing
law authorizes the department to establish and maintain pilot
enhanced treatment programs (ETPs), for the treatment of patients who
are at high risk of most dangerous behavior, and when safe treatment
is not possible in a standard treatment environment.
This bill would require the department, at least 60 days prior to
implementing an ETP, to submit written draft policies and procedures
that will guide the operation of the ETP, including, but not limited
to, admittance criteria, staffing levels, services to be provided to
patients, a transition planning process, and training requirements to
the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature and to the
Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
(25) Existing law, in the Budget Act of 2014, appropriates
$15,000,000 for the establishment or ongoing operation and staffing
of programs known to reduce recidivism and enhance public safety by
means of a competitive grant program developed and administered by
the Judicial Council. Existing law, the Budget Act of 2014,
authorizes these funds to be expended until June 30, 2017, after
which any unexpended funds revert to the General Fund.
This bill would allow these funds to be encumbered, in addition to
being expended, until June 30, 2017, thereby making an
appropriation.
(26) Existing law, in the Budget Act of 2014, appropriates
$28,000,000 for local assistance to the Board of State and Community
Corrections.
This bill would reappropriate these funds for the purposes
specified in the above appropriation and make the funds available for
encumbrance or expenditure until June 30, 2016, except that the bill
would make the balance of a $900,000 appropriation to administer the
mentally ill offender crime reduction grant available for
encumbrance or expenditure until June 30, 2017, thereby making an
appropriation.
(27) Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute
that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or
the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with
findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and
the need for protecting that interest.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
(28) 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 with regard to certain mandates no
reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that,
if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains
costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall
be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
(29) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
Appropriation: yes.

ensure the due process rights set forth in Sell v. United States
(2003) 539 U.S. 166.
SEC. 30. Section 1370 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
1370. (a) (1) (A) If the defendant is found mentally competent,
the criminal process shall resume, the trial on the offense charged
or hearing on the alleged violation shall proceed, and judgment may
be pronounced.
(B) If the defendant is found mentally incompetent, the trial, the
hearing on the alleged violation, or the judgment shall be suspended
until the person becomes mentally competent.
(i) In the meantime, the court shall order that the mentally
incompetent defendant be delivered by the sheriff to a state hospital
for the care and treatment of the mentally disordered, as directed
by the State Department of State Hospitals, or to any other available
public or private treatment facility, including a county jail
treatment facility or the community-based residential treatment
system established pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section
5670) of Chapter 2.5 of Part 2 of Division 5 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code if the facility has a secured perimeter or a locked
and controlled treatment facility, approved by the community program
director that will promote the defendant's speedy restoration to
mental competence, or placed on outpatient status as specified in
Section 1600.
(ii) However, if the action against the defendant who has been
found mentally incompetent is on a complaint charging a felony
offense specified in Section 290, the prosecutor shall determine
whether the defendant previously has been found mentally incompetent
to stand trial pursuant to this chapter on a charge of a Section 290
offense, or whether the defendant is currently the subject of a
pending Section 1368 proceeding arising out of a charge of a Section
290 offense. If either determination is made, the prosecutor shall so
notify the court and defendant in writing. After this notification,
and opportunity for hearing, the court shall order that the defendant
be delivered by the sheriff to a state hospital, as directed by the
State Department of State Hospitals, or other secure treatment
facility for the care and treatment of the mentally disordered unless
the court makes specific findings on the record that an alternative
placement would provide more appropriate treatment for the defendant
and would not pose a danger to the health and safety of others.
(iii) If the action against the defendant who has been found
mentally incompetent is on a complaint charging a felony offense
specified in Section 290 and the defendant has been denied bail
pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 12 of Article I of the
California Constitution because the court has found, based upon clear
and convincing evidence, a substantial likelihood that the person's
release would result in great bodily harm to others, the court shall
order that the defendant be delivered by the sheriff to a state
hospital for the care and treatment of the mentally disordered, as
directed by the State Department of State Hospitals, unless the court
makes specific findings on the record that an alternative placement
would provide more appropriate treatment for the defendant and would
not pose a danger to the health and safety of others.
(iv) The clerk of the court shall notify the Department of Justice
in writing of any finding of mental incompetence with respect to a
defendant who is subject to clause (ii) or (iii) for inclusion in his
or her state summary criminal history information.
(C) Upon the filing of a certificate of restoration to competence,
the court shall order that the defendant be returned to court in
accordance with Section 1372. The court shall transmit a copy of its
order to the community program director or a designee.
(D) A defendant charged with a violent felony may not be delivered
to a state hospital or treatment facility pursuant to this
subdivision unless the state hospital or treatment facility has a
secured perimeter or a locked and controlled treatment facility, and
the judge determines that the public safety will be protected.
(E) For purposes of this paragraph, "violent felony" means an
offense specified in subdivision (c) of Section 667.5.
(F) A defendant charged with a violent felony may be placed on
outpatient status, as specified in Section 1600, only if the court
finds that the placement will not pose a danger to the health or
safety of others. If the court places a defendant charged with a
violent felony on outpatient status, as specified in Section 1600,
the court shall serve copies of the placement order on defense
counsel, the sheriff in the county where the defendant will be
placed, and the district attorney for the county in which the violent
felony charges are pending against the defendant.
(2) Prior to making the order directing that the defendant be
committed to the State Department of State Hospitals or other
treatment facility or placed on outpatient status, the court shall
proceed as follows:
(A) The court shall order the community program director or a
designee to evaluate the defendant and to submit to the court within
15 judicial days of the order a written recommendation as to whether
the defendant should be required to undergo outpatient treatment, or
be committed to the State Department of State Hospitals or to any
other treatment facility. A person shall not be admitted to a state
hospital or other treatment facility or placed on outpatient status
under this section without having been evaluated by the community
program director or a designee. The community program director or
designee shall evaluate the appropriate placement for the defendant
between the State Department of State Hospitals, a county jail
treatment facility, or the community-based residential treatment
system based upon guidelines provided by the State Department of
State Hospitals.
(B) The court shall hear and determine whether the defendant lacks
capacity to make decisions regarding the administration of
antipsychotic medication. The court shall consider opinions in the
reports prepared pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 1369, as
applicable to the issue of whether the defendant lacks capacity to
make decisions regarding the administration of antipsychotic
medication, and shall proceed as follows:
(i) The court shall hear and
determine whether any of the following is true:
(I) The defendant lacks capacity to make decisions regarding
antipsychotic medication, the defendant's mental disorder requires
medical treatment with antipsychotic medication, and, if the
defendant's mental disorder is not treated with antipsychotic
medication, it is probable that serious harm to the physical or
mental health of the patient will result. Probability of serious harm
to the physical or mental health of the defendant requires evidence
that the defendant is presently suffering adverse effects to his or
her physical or mental health, or the defendant has previously
suffered these effects as a result of a mental disorder and his or
her condition is substantially deteriorating. The fact that a
defendant has a diagnosis of a mental disorder does not alone
establish probability of serious harm to the physical or mental
health of the defendant.
(II) The defendant is a danger to others, in that the defendant
has inflicted, attempted to inflict, or made a serious threat of
inflicting substantial physical harm on another while in custody, or
the defendant had inflicted, attempted to inflict, or made a serious
threat of inflicting substantial physical harm on another that
resulted in his or her being taken into custody, and the defendant
presents, as a result of mental disorder or mental defect, a
demonstrated danger of inflicting substantial physical harm on
others. Demonstrated danger may be based on an assessment of the
defendant's present mental condition, including a consideration of
past behavior of the defendant within six years prior to the time the
defendant last attempted to inflict, inflicted, or threatened to
inflict substantial physical harm on another, and other relevant
evidence.
(III) The people have charged the defendant with a serious crime
against the person or property, involuntary administration of
antipsychotic medication is substantially likely to render the
defendant competent to stand trial, the medication is unlikely to
have side effects that interfere with the defendant's ability to
understand the nature of the criminal proceedings or to assist
counsel in the conduct of a defense in a reasonable manner, less
intrusive treatments are unlikely to have substantially the same
results, and antipsychotic medication is in the patient's best
medical interest in light of his or her medical condition.
(ii) If the court finds any of the conditions described in clause
(i) to be true, the court shall issue an order authorizing
involuntary administration of antipsychotic medication to the
defendant when and as prescribed by the defendant's treating
psychiatrist at any facility housing the defendant for purposes of
this chapter. The order shall be valid for no more than one year,
pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (7). The court shall not
order involuntary administration of psychotropic medication under
subclause (III) of clause (i) unless the court has first found that
the defendant does not meet the criteria for involuntary
administration of psychotropic medication under subclause (I) of
clause (i) and does not meet the criteria under subclause (II) of
clause (i).
(iii) In all cases, the treating hospital, facility, or program
may administer medically appropriate antipsychotic medication
prescribed by a psychiatrist in an emergency as described in
subdivision (m) of Section 5008 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
(iv) If the court has determined that the defendant has the
capacity to make decisions regarding antipsychotic medication, and if
the defendant, with advice of his or her counsel, consents, the
court order of commitment shall include confirmation that
antipsychotic medication may be given to the defendant as prescribed
by a treating psychiatrist pursuant to the defendant's consent. The
commitment order shall also indicate that, if the defendant withdraws
consent for antipsychotic medication, after the treating
psychiatrist complies with the provisions of subparagraph (C), the
defendant shall be returned to court for a hearing in accordance with
subparagraphs (C) and (D) regarding whether antipsychotic medication
shall be administered involuntarily.
(v) If the court has determined that the defendant has the
capacity to make decisions regarding antipsychotic medication and if
the defendant, with advice from his or her counsel, does not consent,
the court order for commitment shall indicate that, after the
treating psychiatrist complies with the provisions of subparagraph
(C), the defendant shall be returned to court for a hearing in
accordance with subparagraphs (C) and (D) regarding whether
antipsychotic medication shall be administered involuntarily.
(vi) Any report made pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b)
shall include a description of any antipsychotic medication
administered to the defendant and its effects and side effects,
including effects on the defendant's appearance or behavior that
would affect the defendant's ability to understand the nature of the
criminal proceedings or to assist counsel in the conduct of a defense
in a reasonable manner. During the time the defendant is confined in
a state hospital or other treatment facility or placed on outpatient
status, either the defendant or the people may request that the
court review any order made pursuant to this subdivision. The
defendant, to the same extent enjoyed by other patients in the state
hospital or other treatment facility, shall have the right to contact
the patients' rights advocate regarding his or her rights under this
section.
(C) If the defendant consented to antipsychotic medication as
described in clause (iv) of subparagraph (B), but subsequently
withdraws his or her consent, or, if involuntary antipsychotic
medication was not ordered pursuant to clause (v) of subparagraph
(B), and the treating psychiatrist determines that antipsychotic
medication has become medically necessary and appropriate, the
treating psychiatrist shall make efforts to obtain informed consent
from the defendant for antipsychotic medication. If informed consent
is not obtained from the defendant, and the treating psychiatrist is
of the opinion that the defendant lacks capacity to make decisions
regarding antipsychotic medication based on the conditions described
in subclause (I) or (II) of clause (i) of subparagraph (B), the
treating psychiatrist shall certify whether the lack of capacity and
any applicable conditions described above exist. That certification
shall contain an assessment of the current mental status of the
defendant and the opinion of the treating psychiatrist that
involuntary antipsychotic medication has become medically necessary
and appropriate.
(D) (i) If the treating psychiatrist certifies that antipsychotic
medication has become medically necessary and appropriate pursuant to
subparagraph (C), antipsychotic medication may be administered to
the defendant for not more than 21 days, provided, however, that,
within 72 hours of the certification, the defendant is provided a
medication review hearing before an administrative law judge to be
conducted at the facility where the defendant is receiving treatment.
The treating psychiatrist shall present the case for the
certification for involuntary treatment and the defendant shall be
represented by an attorney or a patients' rights advocate. The
attorney or patients' rights advocate shall be appointed to meet with
the defendant no later than one day prior to the medication review
hearing to review the defendant's rights at the medication review
hearing, discuss the process, answer questions or concerns regarding
involuntary medication or the hearing, assist the defendant in
preparing for the hearing and advocating for his or her interests at
the hearing, review the panel's final determination following the
hearing, advise the defendant of his or her right to judicial review
of the panel's decision, and provide the defendant with referral
information for legal advice on the subject. The defendant shall also
have the following rights with respect to the medication review
hearing:
(I) To be given timely access to the defendant's records.
(II) To be present at the hearing, unless the defendant waives
that right.
(III) To present evidence at the hearing.
(IV) To question persons presenting evidence supporting
involuntary medication.
(V) To make reasonable requests for attendance of witnesses on the
defendant's behalf.
(VI) To a hearing conducted in an impartial and informal manner.
(ii) If the administrative law judge determines that the defendant
either meets the criteria specified in subclause (I) of clause (i)
of subparagraph (B), or meets the criteria specified in subclause
(II) of clause (i) of subparagraph (B), then antipsychotic medication
may continue to be administered to the defendant for the 21-day
certification period. Concurrently with the treating psychiatrist's
certification, the treating psychiatrist shall file a copy of the
certification and a petition with the court for issuance of an order
to administer antipsychotic medication beyond the 21-day
certification period. For purposes of this subparagraph, the treating
psychiatrist shall not be required to pay or deposit any fee for the
filing of the petition or other document or paper related to the
petition.
(iii) If the administrative law judge disagrees with the
certification, medication may not be administered involuntarily until
the court determines that antipsychotic medication should be
administered pursuant to this section.
(iv) The court shall provide notice to the prosecuting attorney
and to the attorney representing the defendant, and shall hold a
hearing, no later than 18 days from the date of the certification, to
determine whether antipsychotic medication should be ordered beyond
the certification period.
(v) If, as a result of the hearing, the court determines that
antipsychotic medication should be administered beyond the
certification period, the court shall issue an order authorizing the
administration of that medication.
(vi) The court shall render its decision on the petition and issue
its order no later than three calendar days after the hearing and,
in any event, no later than the expiration of the 21-day
certification period.
(vii) If the administrative law judge upholds the certification
pursuant to clause (ii), the court may, for a period not to exceed 14
days, extend the certification and continue the hearing pursuant to
stipulation between the parties or upon a finding of good cause. In
determining good cause, the court may review the petition filed with
the court, the administrative law judge's order, and any additional
testimony needed by the court to determine if it is appropriate to
continue medication beyond the 21-day certification and for a period
of up to 14 days.
(viii) The district attorney, county counsel, or representative of
any facility where a defendant found incompetent to stand trial is
committed may petition the court for an order to administer
involuntary medication pursuant to the criteria set forth in
subclauses (II) and (III) of clause (i) of subparagraph (B). The
order is reviewable as provided in paragraph (7).
(3) When the court orders that the defendant be committed to the
State Department of State Hospitals or other public or private
treatment facility, the court shall provide copies of the following
documents prior to the admission of the defendant to the State
Department of State Hospitals or other treatment facility where the
defendant is to be committed:
(A) The commitment order, including a specification of the
charges.
(B) A computation or statement setting forth the maximum term of
commitment in accordance with subdivision (c).
(C) A computation or statement setting forth the amount of credit
for time served, if any, to be deducted from the maximum term of
commitment.
(D) State summary criminal history information.
(E) Any arrest reports prepared by the police department or other
law enforcement agency.
(F) Any court-ordered psychiatric examination or evaluation
reports.
(G) The community program director's placement recommendation
report.
(H) Records of any finding of mental incompetence pursuant to this
chapter arising out of a complaint charging a felony offense
specified in Section 290 or any pending Section 1368 proceeding
arising out of a charge of a Section 290 offense.
(I) Any medical records.
(4) When the defendant is committed to a treatment facility
pursuant to clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) or the
court makes the findings specified in clause (ii) or (iii) of
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) to assign the defendant to a
treatment facility other than a state hospital or other secure
treatment facility, the court shall order that notice be given to the
appropriate law enforcement agency or agencies having local
jurisdiction at the site of the placement facility of any finding of
mental incompetence pursuant to this chapter arising out of a charge
of a Section 290 offense.
(5) When directing that the defendant be confined in a state
hospital pursuant to this subdivision, the court shall commit the
patient to the State Department of State Hospitals.
(6) (A) If the defendant is committed or transferred to the State
Department of State Hospitals pursuant to this section, the court
may, upon receiving the written recommendation of the medical
director of the state hospital and the community program director
that the defendant be transferred to a public or private treatment
facility approved by the community program director, order the
defendant transferred to that facility. If the defendant is committed
or transferred to a public or private treatment facility approved by
the community program director, the court may, upon receiving the
written recommendation of the community program director, transfer
the defendant to the State Department of State Hospitals or to
another public or private treatment facility approved by the
community program director. In the event of dismissal of the criminal
charges before the defendant recovers competence, the person shall
be subject to the applicable provisions of the Lanterman-Petris-Short
Act (Part 1 (commencing with Section 5000) of Division 5 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code). If either the defendant or the
prosecutor chooses to contest either kind of order of transfer, a
petition may be filed in the court for a hearing, which shall be held
if the court determines that sufficient grounds exist. At the
hearing, the prosecuting attorney or the defendant may present
evidence bearing on the order of transfer. The court shall use the
same standards as are used in conducting probation revocation
hearings pursuant to Section 1203.2.
Prior to making an order for transfer under this section, the
court shall notify the defendant, the attorney of record for the
defendant, the prosecuting attorney, and the community program
director or a designee.
(B) If the defendant is initially committed to the State
Department of State Hospitals or secure treatment facility pursuant
to clause (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) and is
subsequently transferred to any other facility, copies of the
documents specified in paragraph (3) shall be taken with the
defendant to each subsequent facility to which the defendant is
transferred. The transferring facility shall also notify the
appropriate law enforcement agency or agencies having local
jurisdiction at the site of the new facility that the defendant is a
person subject to clause (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (1).
(7) (A) An order by the court authorizing involuntary medication
of the defendant shall be valid for no more than one year. The court
shall review the order at the time of the review of the initial
report and the six-month progress reports pursuant to paragraph (1)
of subdivision (b) to determine if the grounds for the authorization
remain. In the review, the court shall consider the reports of the
treating psychiatrist or psychiatrists and the defendant's patients'
rights advocate or attorney. The court may require testimony from the
treating psychiatrist or psychiatrists and the patients' rights
advocate or attorney, if necessary. The court may continue the order
authorizing involuntary medication for up to another six months, or
vacate the order, or make any other appropriate order.
(B) Within 60 days before the expiration of the one-year
involuntary medication order, the district attorney, county counsel,
or representative of any facility where a defendant found incompetent
to stand trial is committed may petition the committing court for a
renewal, subject to the same conditions and requirements as in
subparagraph (A). The petition shall include the basis for
involuntary medication set forth in clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (2). Notice of the petition shall be provided to the
defendant, the defendant's attorney, and the district attorney. The
court shall hear and determine whether the defendant continues to
meet the criteria set forth in clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (2). The hearing on any petition to renew an order for
involuntary medication shall be conducted prior to the expiration of
the current order.
(b) (1) Within 90 days of a commitment made pursuant to
subdivision (a), the medical director of the state hospital or other
treatment facility to which the defendant is confined shall make a
written report to the court and the community program director for
the county or region of commitment, or a designee, concerning the
defendant's progress toward recovery of mental competence and whether
the administration of antipsychotic medication remains necessary. If
the defendant is on outpatient status, the outpatient treatment
staff shall make a written report to the community program director
concerning the defendant's progress toward recovery of mental
competence. Within 90 days of placement on outpatient status, the
community program director shall report to the court on this matter.
If the defendant has not recovered mental competence, but the report
discloses a substantial likelihood that the defendant will regain
mental competence in the foreseeable future, the defendant shall
remain in the state hospital or other treatment facility or on
outpatient status. Thereafter, at six-month intervals or until the
defendant becomes mentally competent, if the defendant is confined in
a treatment facility, the medical director of the hospital or person
in charge of the facility shall report in writing to the court and
the community program director or a designee regarding the defendant'
s progress toward recovery of mental competence and whether the
administration of antipsychotic medication remains necessary. If the
defendant is on outpatient status, after the initial 90-day report,
the outpatient treatment staff shall report to the community program
director on the defendant's progress toward recovery, and the
community program director shall report to the court on this matter
at six-month intervals. A copy of these reports shall be provided to
the prosecutor and defense counsel by the court.
(A) If the report indicates that there is no substantial
likelihood that the defendant will regain mental competence in the
foreseeable future, the committing court shall order the defendant to
be returned to the court for proceedings pursuant to paragraph (2)
of subdivision (c) no later than 10 days following receipt of the
report. The court shall transmit a copy of its order to the community
program director or a designee.
(B) If the report indicates that there is no substantial
likelihood that the defendant will regain mental competence in the
foreseeable future, the medical director of the state hospital or
other treatment facility to which the defendant is confined shall do
both of the following:
(i) Promptly notify and provide a copy of the report to the
defense counsel and the district attorney.
(ii) Provide a separate notification, in compliance with
applicable privacy laws, to the committing county's sheriff that
transportation will be needed for the patient.
(2) If the court has issued an order authorizing the treating
facility to involuntarily administer antipsychotic medication to the
defendant, the reports made pursuant to paragraph (1) concerning the
defendant's progress toward regaining competency shall also consider
the issue of involuntary medication. Each report shall include, but
is not limited to, all the following:
(A) Whether or not the defendant has the capacity to make
decisions concerning antipsychotic medication.
(B) If the defendant lacks capacity to make decisions concerning
antipsychotic medication, whether the defendant risks serious harm to
his or her physical or mental health if not treated with
antipsychotic medication.
(C) Whether or not the defendant presents a danger to others if he
or she is not treated with antipsychotic medication.
(D) Whether the defendant has a mental illness for which
medications are the only effective treatment.
(E) Whether there are any side effects from the medication
currently being experienced by the defendant that would interfere
with the defendant's ability to collaborate with counsel.
(F) Whether there are any effective alternatives to medication.
(G) How quickly the medication is likely to bring the defendant to
competency.
(H) Whether the treatment plan includes methods other than
medication to restore the defendant to competency.
(I) A statement, if applicable, that no medication is likely to
restore the defendant to competency.
(3) After reviewing the reports, the court shall determine whether
or not grounds for the order authorizing involuntary administration
of antipsychotic medication still exist and shall do one of the
following:
(A) If the original grounds for involuntary medication still
exist, the order authorizing the treating facility to involuntarily
administer antipsychotic medication to the defendant shall remain in
effect.
(B) If the original grounds for involuntary medication no longer
exist, and there is no other basis for involuntary administration of
antipsychotic medication, the order for the involuntary
administration of antipsychotic medication shall be vacated.
(C) If the original grounds for involuntary medication no longer
exist, and the report states that there is another basis for
involuntary administration of antipsychotic medication, the court
shall set a hearing within 21 days to determine whether the order for
the involuntary administration of antipsychotic medication shall be
vacated or whether a new order for the involuntary administration of
antipsychotic medication shall be issued. The hearing shall proceed
as set forth in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a).
(4) Any defendant who has been committed or has been on outpatient
status for 18 months and is still hospitalized or on outpatient
status shall be returned to the committing court where a hearing
shall be held pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1369.
The court shall transmit a copy of its order to the community program
director or a designee.
(5) If it is determined by the court that no treatment for the
defendant's mental impairment is being conducted, the defendant shall
be returned to the committing court. The court shall transmit a copy
of its order to the community program director or a designee.
(6) At each review by the court specified in this subdivision, the
court shall determine if the security level of housing and treatment
is appropriate and may make an order in accordance with its
determination. If the court determines that the defendant shall
continue to be treated in the state hospital or on an outpatient
basis, the court shall determine issues concerning administration of
antipsychotic medication, as set forth in subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (2) of subdivision (a).
(c) (1) At the end of three years from the date of commitment or a
period of commitment equal to the maximum term of imprisonment
provided by law for the most serious offense charged in the
information, indictment, or misdemeanor complaint, or the maximum
term of imprisonment provided by law for a violation of probation or
mandatory supervision, whichever is shorter, but no later than 90
days prior to the expiration of the defendant's term of commitment, a
defendant who has not recovered mental competence shall be returned
to the committing court. The court shall notify the community program
director or a designee of the return and of any resulting court
orders.
(2) Whenever any defendant is returned to the court pursuant to
paragraph (1) or (4) of subdivision (b) or paragraph (1) of this
subdivision and it appears to the court that the defendant is gravely
disabled, as defined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (h) of Section 5008 of the Welfare and Institutions Code,
the court shall order the conservatorship investigator of the county
of commitment of the defendant to initiate conservatorship
proceedings for the defendant pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with
Section 5350) of Part 1 of Division 5 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code. Any hearings required in the conservatorship proceedings shall
be held in the superior court in the county that ordered the
commitment. The court shall transmit a copy of the order directing
initiation of conservatorship proceedings to the community program
director or a designee, the sheriff and the district attorney of the
county in which criminal charges are pending, and the defendant's
counsel of record. The court shall notify the community program
director or a designee, the sheriff and district attorney of the
county in which criminal charges are pending, and the defendant's
counsel of record of the outcome of the conservatorship proceedings.
(3) If a change in placement is proposed for a defendant who is
committed pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (h) of Section 5008 of the Welfare and Institutions Code,
the court shall provide notice and an opportunity to be heard with
respect to the proposed placement of the defendant to the sheriff and
the district attorney of the county in which the criminal charges or
revocation proceedings are pending.
(4) If the defendant is confined in a treatment facility, a copy
of any report to the committing court regarding the defendant's
progress toward recovery of mental competence shall be provided by
the committing court to the prosecutor and to the defense counsel.
(d) With the exception of
proceedings alleging a violation of mandatory supervision, the
criminal action remains subject to dismissal pursuant to Section
1385. If the criminal action is dismissed, the court shall transmit a
copy of the order of dismissal to the community program director or
a designee. In a proceeding alleging a violation of mandatory
supervision, if the person is not placed under a conservatorship as
described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), or if a
conservatorship is terminated, the court shall reinstate mandatory
supervision and may modify the terms and conditions of supervision to
include appropriate mental health treatment or refer the matter to a
local mental health court, reentry court, or other collaborative
justice court available for improving the mental health of the
defendant.
(e) If the criminal action against the defendant is dismissed, the
defendant shall be released from any commitment ordered under this
section, but without prejudice to the initiation of any proceedings
that may be appropriate under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (Part 1
(commencing with Section 5000) of Division 5 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code).
(f) As used in this chapter, "community program director" means
the person, agency, or entity designated by the State Department of
State Hospitals pursuant to Section 1605 of this code and Section
4360 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
(g) For the purpose of this section, "secure treatment facility"
shall not include, except for state mental hospitals, state
developmental centers, and correctional treatment facilities, any
facility licensed pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section
1250) of, Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 1500) of, or Chapter 3.2
(commencing with Section 1569) of, Division 2 of the Health and
Safety Code, or any community board and care facility.
(h) Nothing in this section shall preclude a defendant from filing
a petition for habeas corpus to challenge the continuing validity of
an order authorizing a treatment facility or outpatient program to
involuntarily administer antipsychotic medication to a person being
treated as incompetent to stand trial.
SEC. 31. Section 1370.6 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
1370.6. (a) If a county jail treatment facility is selected by
the court pursuant to Section 1370, the department shall provide
restoration of competency treatment at the county jail treatment
facility and shall provide payment to the county jail treatment
facility for the reasonable costs of the bed during the restoration
of competency treatment as well as for the reasonable costs of any
necessary medical treatment not provided within the county jail
treatment facility, unless otherwise agreed to by the department and
the facility.
(1) If the county jail treatment facility is able to provide
restoration of competency services, upon approval by the department
and subject to funding appropriated in the annual Budget Act, the
county jail treatment facility may provide those services and the
State Department of State Hospitals may provide payment to the county
jail treatment facility for the reasonable costs of the bed during
the restoration of competency treatment as well as the reasonable
costs of providing restoration of competency services and for any
necessary medical treatment not provided within the county jail
treatment facility, unless otherwise agreed to by the department and
the facility.
(2) Transportation to a county jail treatment facility for
