What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a state agency or local government may participate in a

temporary employee interchange program as part of intergovernmental cooperation.

Under current law, the governmental entity that sends an employee to another

governmental entity continues to be the employer of the employee, but the entities

may have an agreement on the supervision of the employee during the period of the

interchange.

This bill specifies that a district attorney may request the attorney general to

assign attorneys at the Department of Justice to perform the duties of an attorney

for the district attorney. Under the bill, the district attorney would supervise the

attorney. The bill requires DOJ to create a division for such attorneys that may be

assigned to a district attorney.
