Summary

AB 2004 amends Penal Code §830.1 so that deputy sheriffs who are assigned exclusively to county jail and other custodial duties in Fresno, San Joaquin and a list of additional counties are recognized as peace officers. Their authority is limited to the time they are performing those custodial duties or when directed to perform law‑enforcement tasks during a local state of emergency. The bill seeks uniform legal recognition for these officers without expanding their powers.
