Summary

AB 2257 lets a county board of supervisors establish a jail administrator position. The sheriff nominates a candidate, the board confirms or denies the appointment, and the administrator gains executive authority over jails while the sheriff retains supervisory and removal powers. The bill also updates the law to treat a jail administrator as a “sheriff” for statutory duties.
