. ...r 111 <br /> PLEASANTON. <br /> AB 2342 (McCarty) Parole. <br /> The bill would create a program under which the length of a parolee's period of parole <br /> could be reduced through credits earned by successfully completing specified <br /> education, training, or treatment programs, or by participating in volunteer service, while <br /> adhering to the conditions of parole. The bill would make this program inapplicable to a <br /> person who is required to register as a sex offender. <br /> SB 203 (Bradford) — Juveniles: custodial interrogation <br /> Current law requires, until January 1, 2025, that a youth 15 years of age or younger <br /> consult with legal counsel in person, by telephone, or by video conference prior to a <br /> custodial interrogation and before waiving any specified rights. Existing law directs a <br /> court deciding the admissibility of statements made by a youth 15 years of age or <br /> younger during or after a custodial interrogation to consider the effects of failing to <br /> provide counsel before the custodial interrogation. Current law directs the Governor to <br /> convene a panel of experts to examine the effects and outcomes of these provisions, <br /> including the appropriate age of youth to whom these provisions should apply. This bill <br /> would instead apply these provisions to a youth 17 years of age or younger, and would <br /> indefinitely extend the operation of these provisions. <br /> SB 629 (McGuire) Public peace: media access. <br /> Existing law makes every person who willfully resists, delays, or obstructs any public <br /> officer, peace officer, or an emergency medical technician, as defined, in the discharge <br /> or attempt to discharge any duty of the office or employment, when no other punishment <br /> is prescribed, guilty of a misdemeanor. Existing law also authorizes specified peace <br /> officers to close an area where a menace to the public health or safety is created by a <br /> calamity and to close the immediate area surrounding any emergency field command <br /> post or other command post activated for the purpose of abating a calamity, riot, or <br /> other civil disturbance, as specified. Existing law makes any unauthorized person who <br /> willfully and knowingly enters those areas and who remains in the area after receiving <br /> notice to evacuate or leave guilty of a misdemeanor. Existing law exempts a duly <br /> authorized representative of any news service, newspaper, or radio or television station <br /> or network from the provisions prohibiting entry into the closed areas, as specified. This <br /> bill would, if peace officers close the immediate area surrounding any emergency field <br /> command post or establish any other command post, police line, or rolling closure at a <br /> demonstration, march, protest, or rally where individuals are engaged primarily in <br /> constitutionally protected activity, require that a duly authorized representative of any <br /> news service, online news service, newspaper, or radio or television station or network, <br /> as described, be allowed to enter those closed areas and would prohibit a peace officer <br /> or other law enforcement officer from intentionally assaulting, interfering with, or <br /> obstructing a duly authorized representative who is gathering, receiving, or processing <br /> information for communication to the public. The bill would also prohibit a duly <br /> authorized representative who is in a closed area from being cited for the failure to <br /> disperse, a violation of a curfew, or a violation of other, specified law. The bill would <br /> require that if a representative is detained by a peace officer or other law enforcement <br /> 7 <br />
