Summary

Existing law defines "code enforcement officer" to mean specified persons employed by any governmental subdivision, public or quasi-public corporation, public agency, public service corporation, any town, city, county, or municipal corporation, whether incorporated or chartered, who have enforcement authority for health, safety, and welfare requirements, and whose duties include enforcement of any statute, rules, regulations, or standards, and who are authorized to issue citations, or file formal complaints. The term also refers to any person who is employed by the Department of Housing and Community Development who has enforcement authority for health, safety, and welfare requirements relating to housing, as specified. Existing law provides that "illegal dumping enforcement officers" who are employed full time, part time, or as volunteers after completing prescribed training by a city, county, or city and county, and who are designated by local ordinance as public officers, are not peace officers but may exercise the powers of arrest of a peace officer, as specified, during the course and within the scope of their employment, if they successfully complete a specified course in the exercise of those powers. This bill would additionally authorize a code enforcement officer, as specified, to exercise the powers of arrest of a peace officer in the manner described above to the extent necessary to enforce laws related to illegal waste dumping or littering.
