Staff: Natasha Fooman, Status: AsPubSfty, 4/29, Position: Support AB 1263 (B enoit). Trespass. (Amended 4- 9-03) AB 1263 makes entry or re -entry into a sterile area of an airport without submitting to screening an alternate felony /misdemeanor if the conduct results in any part in flight delays or cancellations. AB 1263 makes it a trespass to enter or re -enter a sterile area of an airport without submitting to the screening and inspection of one's person and accessible property in accor- dance with established procedures. This bill provides that a person violating this section and responsible in any part for delays or cancellation of scheduled flights is punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months, 2, or 3 years, or by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year. AB 1263 requires that the sterile area be posted with a statement providing reasonable notice that felony prosecution may result from trespassing in order to prosecute the offense as an a@emate felony /misdemeanor. According to the author, "Under current state and federal statutes, the maximum penalty for creating such a situation is merely a misdemeanor. AB 1263 will give local law enforcement and the district attorney's office the discretion to charge individu- als who breach a security checkpoint with a felony trespass when that security breach causes flight delays or cancellations." AB 1236 passed in committee on April 22, 2003, and was referred to Assembly Appropriations. Staff: Natasha Fooman, Status: AsApps, Position: Support SB 911 (Alpert). Local Emergency Tele- phone Systems: 911 Administrative Board. (Amended 4 -4-03) SB 911 is intended to improve delivery of the 911 systems by addressing such issues as bidding policies and establishing con- sistent procedures regarding equitable reimburse- ment for all participating agencies. SB 911 cre- ates in state government a "911" Administrative Board appointed by the Governor, comprised of law enforcement officials, fire safety personnel, and emergency communication professionals, to oversee policy and funding decisions within the Telecommunications Division of the Department of General Services (DGS). The - g911- hAdmin- istrative Board established by SB 911 provides a good representation of local public safety agen- cies while also providing technical expertise to improve the quality of emergency services in California. SB 911 passed out of committee with amendments that will include an appeal process. Amendments will be worked out later this week.
