Acquisition and Custodial History
The State Archives received these records in accordance with California Government Code 9080(b) which requires legislative
committees to transfer their records to the State Archives when they are no longer needed by the committee.
Committee History
The Assembly Public Safety Committee is the most recent assembly committee to oversee the California Penal Code. The committee
was originally a part of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, which began with the first legislative session in 1849. The original
Judiciary Committee dealt with a broad legislative scope regarding both penal and civil matters. The division between the
Assembly Judiciary Committee and the committee that would become the Assembly Public Safety Committee occurred in 1959, as
a method to alleviate the workload of the Assembly Judiciary Committee. Committee members endured lengthy bi-weekly hearing
sessions, ranging from 8 p.m. to midnight. During these strenuous meetings, committee members heard and deliberated thousands
of bills a week. At the suggestion of Assemblyman John O’Connell, the Assembly Judiciary Committee was divided into two scopes:
Civil Codes and Penal Codes. In accordance with House Resolution 24 of 1959, the Assembly Judiciary Committee was split into
the Assembly Criminal Procedure Committee and the Assembly Judiciary-Civil Committee. As the scope of the new Judiciary Committee
dealt with California’s Civil Code, the Assembly Criminal Procedure Committee oversaw bills relating to the Penal Code, sanctions
and criminal offenses. Furthermore, the resolution established the committee both as a standing committee and an interim committee.
During the 1971 session, the name of the standing committee was changed to the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee. The committee
maintained the same subject scope as its predecessor, administering bills relating to the Penal Code and constitutional rights.
The committee focused on subjects involving the study of peace officers, juvenile court law, qualification of counsel in capital
cases, inspection of stolen vehicles, grand juries, youth authority and prisons (construction and discipline), felony offenses
and those misdemeanor violations not incidental to the subject matter of another committee. For most of the committee’s history,
the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee was chaired by Democrats, including Alan Sieroty, Bill McVittie and Terry Goggin.
In 1983, House Resolution 8 renamed the committee the Assembly Criminal Law and Public Safety Committee, altering the committee’s
scope to focus on matters regarding public safety. Examples of the committee’s public safety focus include subjects such
as juvenile justice reform and school violence prevention. Committee members introduced a bi-partisan bill aimed to enforce
appropriate punishment of juvenile offenders, increase public protection against juvenile crime and prevent juvenile crime
by more effective methods of rehabilitation. On the subject of school violence, committee members proposed bills with the
goal of protecting students and promoting a safe learning environment. Examples of school violence bills include increase
penalties for campus crimes against students and faculty, along with penalties against campus trespassers.
In 1985, the committee was renamed as the Assembly Public Safety Committee at the behest of committee chairman Larry Stirling.
Enforced by House Resolution 8, the committee maintained the scope of the Assembly Criminal Law and Public Safety, merely
changing the title to Public Safety to “focus more on its intended purposes”. Later, committee chairman Robert Hertzberg (D)
authored various bills relating to anti-crime measures, such as the establishment of inter-agency gang intervention programs,
enhanced sentencing for drug manufactures, and outlawing internet stalking and harassment.
The chairs of these committees from 1959 to 2010 were:

Scope and Content
The Assembly Public Safety Committee Records span from 1959 to 2010, consisting of 192 cubic feet of records (including audiovisual
materials) reflecting the activity of the committee in overseeing legislation and other matters affecting California’s criminal
justice, correctional needs, and public safety. The records were created by four different records creators: (1) Assembly
Criminal Procedure Committee, 1959-1970; (2) Assembly Criminal Justice Committee, 1971-1982; (3) Assembly Criminal Law and
Public Safety Committee, 1983-1984; (4) and Assembly Public Safety Committee, 1985-2010. The collection is organized into
twelve series: Bill Files (1959-2010), Subject Files (1956-2000), Hearing Files (1960-1994), Correspondence Files (1985-1991),
Workload Reports (1968-1974), Agendas (1983-1990), Agendas and Roll Calls (1981-1984), Prison Files (1976-1986), Consultant
Correspondence (1986-1991), Summary Files (1987-1992), and Author’s Amendment Files (1990-1992).
Researchers interested in the history of the California Penal Code, public safety, criminal procedure and criminal justice
will find the Assembly Public Safety Committee records useful. Legal researchers will find the Consultant Correspondence series
helpful while researching the legality of various bills introduced by committee members. Researchers interested in prison
reform and restructuring will find the Prison Files series helpful in their research. Furthermore, the records reveal how
the scope and responsibilities of the committee changed and expanded each time it was renamed. The committee focused on subjects
relating to criminal justice and procedural bill files with a minimum importance of anti-crime bills, as seen with committee
hearings pertaining to the 1965 Watts Riots and riot responses and the Los Angeles County Justice System Subvention Program
(AB90, 1979-1980). The committee’s greater emphasis on public safety matters begins during the 1983-1984 legislative session
and the creation of the Assembly Criminal Law and Public Safety. Public safety-related records include Hearing Files regarding
the 1984 Victim’s Rights Bill (Proposition 8, 1984) and the 1984 Safe Schools Legislation Package (AB2480-AB2484, 1983-1984).
Notable legislation passed by the Assembly Public Safety Committee includes Three Strikes Initiative (AB971/Proposition 184,
1994) and Matt’s Law/college hazing (SB1454, 2005-2006).

Scope and Content Note
Hearing files for the Assembly Public Safety Committee and its predecessor committees may contain agendas, audiocassettes,
dictabelts, transcripts, testimony, background reports, and working files for regular session hearings, interim hearings,

has no equipment to listening to the dictabelts. Many of the cassette tapes are recorded at low volume making them hard to

Some notable hearing topics of the Assembly Criminal Procedure Committee (1959-1970) include capital punishment, parole and
probation, the Humane Abortion Act, and the Los Angeles Watts Riot. Hearings held by the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee
(1971-1982) included topics such as gang violence, inmate labor, child molestation, impaired driver sentencing, and the Los
Angeles County Justice System Subvention Program. During the short lifespan of the Assembly Criminal Law and Public Safety
Committee (1983-1984), the committee reviewed bills pertaining to public safety, including a safe school legislation package,
victim’s rights, and crime surrounding liquor stores. In 1965, the Assembly Public Safety Committee continued to hear bills
pertaining to the safety of the public and the California Penal Code, including child witnesses, sex offender registration,
