Summary

(1) Existing law regulating the issuance of bail bonds requires any person advertising or engaging in the business of executing, delivering, or furnishing bail bonds to hold a bail agent's license, a bail permittee's license, or a bail solicitor's license, as specified, issued by the Insurance Commissioner. This bill would provide for the regulation of bail fugitive recovery persons, defined as a person given written authorization by the bail or depositor of bail and contracted to investigate, surveil, locate, and arrest a bail fugitive and any person employed to assist the bail or depositor of bail to investigate, surveil, locate, and arrest a bail fugitive. This bill would require that bail fugitive recovery persons be at least 18 years of age, complete 20 hours of classroom education pertinent to the duties and responsibilities of a bail licensee, complete a 40-hour power of arrest course certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, and would prohibit a person convicted of a felony from being a bail fugitive recovery person, unless the person is licensed by the Department of Insurance, as specified. This bill would require that a person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive notify local law enforcement of his or her intent to apprehend a bail fugitive no more than 6 hours prior to attempting to apprehend a bail fugitive, except as specified. The bill would require any person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive to carry a certification of completion of required courses and training programs. Because this bill states that any person who is not in compliance with, or who violates, these provisions is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable as specified, this bill would create a new crime, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. (2) 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
