LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 318, as amended, Calderon. Dogfighting forfeitures.
Existing law makes dogfighting, as specified, an offense.
This bill would provide forfeiture procedures for certain property
that was acquired through the crime of dogfighting, as specified.
The bill would state findings and declarations of the Legislature in
that regard, and the intent of the Legislature in connection with the
forfeiture proceeding provisions.
By imposing additional duties on local prosecuting agencies, this
bill would impose a state-mandated local provision.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
