Scope and Content
Bills that deal with the California Penal Code, criminal justice and correctional needs are generally referred to the Assembly
Public Safety Committee. Bill files from 1960 to 1968 and from the 1981-1982 were not transferred to the California State
Archives. Bill files created by the Assembly Public Safety Committee and its predecessors may include bill analyses, amendments
and resolutions, author's statements, testimony, press releases, editorials and newspaper clippings, correspondence, committee
statements, and other information.
Notable legislation considered by the Assembly Criminal Procedure Committee included AB1226 (Braithwaite, 1970), jail inmate
services; AB112, (Z'berg, 1969), marijuana possession penalties; AB179 (Miller, 1969), probation reports; AB312 (Britschgi,
1969), assault on peace officers; and AB261 (Mulford, 1969), disorderly conduct at the State Capitol. Bills considered by
the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee included AB2703 (Sieroty, 1971), terms of parole; AB1685 (Crown, 1972), criminal records
dissemination; AB2268 (Crown, 1972), criminal offense records; and AB1343 (Elder, 1979-1980), reserve police officers. The
focus on public safety legislation occurred under the Assembly Criminal Law and Public Safety Committee, and included bills
such as AB2480 (Sher, 1983-1984), Safe School Program of 1984; AB2501 (Bronzen, 1983-1984), booby trap legality; AB3453 (Moore,

relating to public safety and the Penal Code, including AB1467 (1985-1986, Condit), death penalty; AB1330 (Gotch, 1993-1994),
illegal firearms; AB2222 (2001-2002, Koretz), .50 caliber sniper rifle possession; and AB2715 (2009-2010, Bass), three strikes

Bill files from 1970-1976 and 1983-1990 are found on microfilm, with subsequent years to be added on an ongoing basis. Audio/videotapes
