This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

(1) Existing law prohibits a firearm industry member, as defined, from engaging in advertising or marketing related to firearms that is intended for minors or reasonably appears to be attractive to minors, as specified. This bill would exempt from this prohibition any advertising that is offering or promoting classes or events related to firearm safety, hunting, or sport shooting, as specified, or promoting membership in any organization. (2) Existing law generally provides for the compensation of victims and derivative victims of specified types of crimes by the California Victim Compensation Board from the Restitution Fund, which is continuously appropriated to the board. Existing law prohibits the board from granting compensation to a person who is convicted of a violent felony, as prescribed, until that person has been discharged from probation or has been released from a correctional institution and has been discharged from parole, or has been discharged from postrelease community supervision or mandatory supervision, if any, for that violent crime. This bill would instead prohibit compensation from being granted to a person in the above circumstances until after that person has been released from a correctional institution. (3) Existing law authorizes the board to compensate for pecuniary loss, including compensation equal to the loss of income or loss of support, or both, that a victim or derivative victim incurs as a direct result of the victim's or derivative victim's injury or the victim's death, as specified. Existing law also provides limits on the compensation a victim and derivative victim may receive. This bill would authorize the board, in authorizing compensation for loss of income and support, to base the loss of income on the actual loss the victim sustains or the wages that an employee would earn, as specified, during the period that the victim is unable to work or seek work as a result of the injury for adult victims, and upon the loss the victim actually sustains for victims who are under 18 years of age at the time of the crime, as specified. The bill would also specify that an adult derivative victim and a derivative victim who was legally dependent on the victim at the time of the crime are also similarly eligible for compensation for loss of income, as specified. The bill would specify that if a victim is a minor at the time of the crime, the victim is eligible for future loss of income, calculated as specified. This bill would specify that if an adult victim or derivative victim was not employed or receiving earned income benefits at the time of the crime, the victim or derivative victim, as applicable, shall be eligible for loss of income if they were fully or partially employed or receiving income benefits for a total of at least 2 weeks in the 12 months preceding the qualifying crime, or had an offer of employment at the time of the crime and was unable to begin employment as a result of the crime, as specified. The bill would specify that if a derivative victim who is otherwise eligible for loss of support is eligible for loss of support if the deceased victim was not employed or receiving earned income benefits at the time of the crime, but the deceased victim was fully or partially employed or receiving earned income benefits for a total of at least 2 weeks in the 12 months preceding the qualifying crime, if the victim had an offer of employment at the time of the crime and was unable to begin employment as a result of the crime. This bill would require the board, by July 1, 2025, to adopt new guidelines to rely on a range of evidence in considering and approving claims for loss of income, as specified. The bill would also remove or raise various limits on the compensation a victim and derivative victim may receive, as specified. By expanding the eligibility for, and by increasing or removing limits on, compensation from a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation. (4) Existing law requires the board to publicize the existence of the victim compensation program, and requires a local law enforcement agency to inform crime victims of these provisions, as specified. This bill would require the board to provide every general acute care hospital in the state that operates an emergency department with specified information, and require the hospital to display the information, as specified. The bill would also require every local law enforcement agency to inform crime victims of the existence of specified trauma recovery centers. By requiring local law enforcement agencies to provide additional information to crime victims, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (5) Existing law, as added by Proposition 9, the Victims' Bill of Rights Act of 2008: Marsy's Law, at the November 4, 2008, statewide general election, requires a law enforcement agency investigating a criminal act and an agency prosecuting a criminal act to, at the time of initial contact with a crime victim, during followup investigation, or as soon thereafter as deemed appropriate, provide or make available to the victim a "Marsy Rights" card that contains the constitutional rights of crime victims without charge or cost to the victim. This bill would require every law enforcement agency investigating a criminal act and every agency prosecuting a criminal act to, at the time of initial contact with a crime victim, during followup investigation, or as soon thereafter as deemed appropriate by investigating officers or prosecuting attorneys, provide or make available to each victim of the criminal act without charge or cost a "Victim Protections and Resources" card and to provide other information, as specified. The bill would also require the Attorney General to design and make available in PDF or other imaging format to these agencies a "Victim Protections and Resources" card containing specified information. The bill would authorize the "Victim Protections and Resources" card to be designed as part of and included with the "Marsy Rights" card described above. By requiring these agencies to provide additional information to crime victims, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (6) Existing law allows a person who was erroneously convicted of a felony and imprisoned in the state prison or a county jail to present a claim to the board for the injury sustained by the person through the erroneous conviction and imprisonment or incarceration. Existing law requires the board to provide a recommendation to the Legislature that an appropriation be made for the purpose of indemnifying the claimant for the erroneous conviction injury. Existing law requires that the amount of the appropriation recommended by the board be equivalent to $140 per day of incarceration served, as specified. This bill would require that the compensation recommendation for a claimant be equivalent to $70 per day served on parole or supervised release, as specified. The bill would require that these amounts be updated annually to account for changes in the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index, West Region. (7) Existing law creates the Division of Juvenile Justice within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to operate facilities to house specified juvenile offenders. Existing law requires the Division of Juvenile Justice to close on June 30, 2023, and provides for the transition of youth who are currently housed within a Division of Juvenile Justice facility to the care and custody of counties. Existing law requires a person convicted of specified sex offenses, including a person who is discharged or paroled from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation after having been adjudicated a ward of the juvenile court because of the commission of a sex offense, to register with local law enforcement agencies while residing in the state or while attending school or working in the state. Existing law requires a person convicted of arson, or a person who is discharged or paroled from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice after being adjudicated a ward for having committed arson, to register with certain local officials in the area in which they reside. This bill would define a discharged person for purposes of these sex offender and arson registration requirements to include specified persons who transition out of the division due to its statutorily required closure. The bill would require the court of jurisdiction to establish the point at which the ward is required to register and notify the Department of Justice of its decision. (8) Existing law allows a defendant who successfully participated in the California Conservation Camp program as an incarcerated individual hand crew member, or successfully participated as a member of a county incarcerated individual hand crew, except as specified, to petition the court to have the pleading dismissed, as described, thus releasing the person of any penalties and disabilities of conviction, except as otherwise provided. This bill would also grant this relief to a defendant who has successfully participated at an institutional firehouse, as specified. (9) Existing law prescribes the distribution of funds collected from specified fines, forfeitures, and civil assessments imposed for crimes. This bill would correct erroneous cross-references in existing law. (10) Existing law, within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, creates the Division of Juvenile Justice, headed by a director, to operate facilities to house specified juvenile offenders. Existing law requires the division to close on June 30, 2023, and provides for the transition of youth who are currently housed within a Division of Juvenile Justice facility to the care and custody of counties. Existing law requires the State Department of State Hospitals, upon closure of the division, to continue to provide evaluation, care, and treatment of state hospital patients referred to the division. This bill would correct an erroneous cross-reference in existing law. (11) This bill provides that certain of its provisions shall become operative on July 1, 2024, only if General Fund moneys over the multiyear forecasts beginning in the 2024–25 fiscal year are available to support ongoing augmentations and actions, and if an appropriation is made to backfill the Restitution Fund to support the actions. (12) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 13956 and 13957 of the Government Code proposed by SB 299 and SB 877, respectively, and Sections 4900 and 4904 of the Penal Code proposed by SB 1468, to be operative only if this bill and the other specified bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last. (13) 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 the statutory provisions noted above. (14) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
