	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1507, as amended, Committee on Labor and Employment. 
California Workforce Investment Act.   Peace officers:
training.  
   Existing federal law, commonly known as Public Law 280, authorizes
the state to exercise jurisdiction over offenses committed by or
against Indians in the areas of Indian country within the state, and
gives state criminal laws the same force and effect within Indian
country as they have elsewhere in the state.  
   Existing state law creates the Commission on Peace Officer
Standards and Training that, among other things, establishes levels
of standards and training for peace officers, as specified. Existing
law requires the commission to implement courses of training related
to various topics applicable to peace officers.  
   This bill would require each police chief, county sheriff, or
other head of a law enforcement agency to assess his or her
jurisdiction to determine if any Indian tribal lands lie within the
jurisdiction. The bill would require the police chief, county
sheriff, or other head of a law enforcement agency, if he or she
determines that Indian tribal lands exist within his or her
jurisdiction, to ensure that those peace officers employed by the
agency who work in, or adjacent to, Indian tribal lands, or who may
be responsible for responding to calls for service on, or adjacent
to, Indian tribal lands, complete a course that includes, but is not
limited to, a review of Public Law 280. By creating new duties for
local officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.  
   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 these
statutory provisions.  
   Existing law, the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998,
authorizes workforce investment activities, including activities in
which states may participate. Existing federal law, the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act, beginning July 1, 2015, repeals and
supersedes that act and provides for the establishment of a state
workforce development board to develop strategies to support the use
of career pathways for the purpose of providing individuals with
workforce investment activities, education, and support services
necessary for them to enter the workforce or retain employment.
Existing law contains various programs for job training and
employment investment, including work incentive programs. 

   This bill would update statutory references to the federal
Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to instead refer to the federal
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and make related conforming
changes.  
   By revising the duties of local workforce investment boards to
conform to the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, this
bill would impose a state-mandated local program.  

   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. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   SECTION 1.    Section 832.35 is added to the 
 Penal Code   ,  immediately following Section
832.3  , to read:  
   832.35.  (a) Each police chief, county sheriff, or other head of a
law enforcement agency shall assess his or her jurisdiction to
determine if any Indian tribal lands lie within the jurisdiction.
   (b) If the police chief, county sheriff, or other head of a law
enforcement agency determines that Indian tribal lands exist within
his or her jurisdiction, he or she shall ensure that those peace
officers employed by the agency who work in, or adjacent to, Indian
tribal lands, or who may be responsible for responding to calls for
service on, or adjacent to, Indian tribal lands, complete a course
that includes, but is not limited to, a review of Public Law 280 (18
U.S.C. Sec. 1162; 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1360; and 25 U.S.C. Secs. 1321
through 1326, inclusive). 
   SEC. 2.    If the Commission on State Mandates
determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs
shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of
Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.  All matter
omitted in this version of the bill appears in the bill as amended in
the Assembly, April 16, 2015. (JR11)
