Default 2013 CA AB 202 - Donnelly - School security: School Marshal Program - Dead 5/22/13

5/22/2013 - Bill failed passage in the Education committee on 4/17/2013 - bill returned to the desk today without further action. Bill dead.

Looks like it establishes something similar to the Federal Flight Desk Officer program (armed aircrew).

Too long to quote all here.

AB 202, as introduced, Donnelly. School security: School Marshal Program.


(1) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to establish a security department or a school police department and authorizes specified moneys transferred into the general fund of any school district to be used for the training of persons employed and compensated as members of a police department of a school district, as specified.

This bill would establish the School Marshal Program and would authorize school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to use general purpose funds to provide training to a school marshal. The bill would define a school marshal as a school employee who, in accordance with the Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 and pursuant to locally adopted policies, is authorized to possess a firearm at a schoolsite or designated school activities.

(2) Existing law, the California Public Records Act, requires state and local agencies to make public records available for inspection, subject to specified criteria, and with certain exceptions. Existing law excludes from disclosure certain information contained in applications for licenses to, and licenses to, carry firearms submitted by prosecutors, public defenders, peace officers, judges, court commissioners, and magistrates, to county sheriffs and the chiefs or other heads of municipal police departments.

This bill would exclude from disclosure the personally identifiable information set forth in applications for a license to, and the license to, carry firearms submitted by a school marshal to the sheriff of a county or the chief or other head of a municipal police department. By increasing duties on county sheriffs and the chiefs or other heads of municipal police departments, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(3) 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.
