LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 340, Wright. California Science Center: police and security services.
Existing law provides for the Sixth District Agricultural Association, which is known as the California Science Center and authorizes the Executive Director of the center to appoint specified security and safety personnel.
This bill instead would provide that these appointments be made by the Exposition Park Manager, a position that would be established by the center and filled by a person appointed by the Governor for the purpose of managing, scheduling, and administering all park-related events, including oversight for the police and security services of the park.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

(a) The Exposition Park Manager may appoint the following persons:
(1) The chief and assistant chief of museum security and safety who shall have the powers of peace officers as specified in Section 830.3 of the Penal Code.
(2) Other safety officers who shall have the powers of arrest as specified in Section 830.7 of the Penal Code.
(b) The officers appointed pursuant to subdivision (a) shall provide police and security services to keep order and to preserve the peace and safety of persons and property at the California Science Center and at Exposition Park on a year-round basis.
