DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES (Smyth) |
| |
| Description: |
AB 937, as amended, Smyth. Destructive devices: registration.
Existing law requires that violators of specified arson laws
register their names, addresses, and other specified information with
the police or sheriff in the jurisdiction where they are residing or
are located, within specified time limits, and with
subject to certain conditions. Additionally,
these violators must register with the campus police chief of any
public college or university where they reside or are located.
Failure to register is a misdemeanor. Under existing law, certain
administrative duties are imposed on county probation departments and
the Department of Justice relating to the collection and
dissemination of information from registrants.
Existing law defines various crimes relating to the possession and
use of destructive devices.
This bill would impose registration requirements parallel to those
applicable in arson cases on violators of certain laws regulating
the possession and use of destructive devices, as specified. Parallel
obligations would be imposed on public agencies relating to the
collection and dissemination of information from registrants.
By creating a new crime and requiring county officers to undertake
additional duties, this bill would impose state-mandated local
programs.
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.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
