What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires that the interests of the public in proceedings under the

Children's Code relating to a child in need of protection or services or an unborn child

in need of protection or services be represented by the district attorney or, if

designated by the county board of supervisors, the corporation counsel. Current law

provides that the county board may transfer this authority to or from the district

attorney, but only if the action is effective on September 1 of an odd-numbered year

and the board notifies the Department of Administration of that change by January

1 of that odd-numbered year. This bill removes the requirement that these actions

occur in the odd-numbered year and the requirement that the change be effective

on September 1. Instead, under the bill, the board must notify DOA of the change

no later than January 1 of the calendar year during which the change takes effect.
