Summary
AB 2257 lets a county’s board of supervisors establish a jail administrator who will manage the county jail and its staff. The sheriff must nominate a candidate, the board confirms or denies the appointment, and the sheriff can still supervise, evaluate, discipline, or remove the administrator. The change shifts day‑to‑day jail management from the sheriff to a professional administrator in counties that choose to adopt the position.
