Section 72115 Of Article 3. Marshal From California Government Code >> Title 8. >> Chapter 8. >> Article 3.
72115
. (a) This section applies to the abolition of the marshal's
office and the transfer of court-related services provided by the
marshal within the county to the sheriff's department.
(b) The courtroom assignment of bailiffs after abolition of the
marshal's office and the consolidation pursuant to this section shall
be determined by a two-member committee comprised of the presiding
judge of the superior court and the sheriff, or their designees. Any
new bailiff assignments shall be made only after consultation with
the affected judge or commissioner in whose courtroom a new
assignment is planned.
It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this subdivision,
to ensure that courtroom assignments are made in a manner which best
assures that the interests of the affected judge or commissioner and
bailiff are protected.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the marshal and
all personnel of the marshal's office affected by the abolition of
the marshal's office in San Bernardino County shall become employees
of the sheriff's department at their existing or equivalent
classification, salaries, and benefits, and, except as may be
necessary for the operation of the agency under which court-related
services and the service of civil and criminal process are
consolidated, they shall not be involuntarily transferred out of the
consolidated office for a period of five years following the
consolidation.
(d) Personnel of the abolished marshal's office shall be entitled
to request an assignment to another division within the sheriff's
department, and that request shall be reviewed in the same manner as
any other request from within the department. Persons who accept a
voluntary transfer from the court services/civil division shall waive
their rights pursuant to subdivision (c).
(e) Permanent employees of the marshal's office on the effective
date of the abolition of the marshal's office pursuant to this
section shall be deemed to be qualified, and no other qualifications
shall be required for employment or retention. Probationary employees
of the marshal's office on the effective date of a consolidation
pursuant to this section shall retain their probationary status and
rights, and shall not be deemed to have transferred so as to require
serving a new probationary period.
(f) All county service or service by employees of the marshal's
office on the effective date of a consolidation pursuant to this
section shall be counted toward seniority in the consolidated office,
and all time spent in the same, equivalent, or higher classification
shall be counted toward classification seniority.
(g) No employee of the marshal's office on the effective date of a
consolidation pursuant to this section shall lose peace officer
status, or otherwise be adversely affected as a result of the
abolition and merger of personnel into the sheriff's department.
(h) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2018, and as of that date is repealed unless a later enacted statute,
which is enacted before January 1, 2018, deletes or extends that
date. The repeal of this section does not affect any right or benefit
to which a person was entitled on the date of repeal.
