Section § 10000

Explanation

This law states that if any part of a new legal text is essentially the same as what already existed, it should be viewed as simply restating and continuing the previous laws, not as creating new ones.

The provisions of Part 3 (commencing with Section 2000), insofar as they are substantially the same as existing provisions relating to the same subject matter, shall be construed as restatements and continuations thereof and not as new enactments.

Section § 10001

Explanation

This law ensures that anyone already holding a government office under a repealed act will keep their position as long as the new act continues those offices.

All persons who, at the time this act goes into effect, hold office under any of the acts repealed by this act, which offices are continued by this act, continue to hold the same according to the former tenure thereof.

Section § 10002

Explanation

This law section states that any legal actions or proceedings that began before this act came into effect, as well as any rights that were already gained, won't be affected by the new regulations. However, from that point onwards, the procedures followed in those cases should align with the new rules as much as possible.

No action or proceeding commenced before this act takes effect, and no right accrued, is affected by the provisions of this act, but all procedure thereafter taken therein shall conform to the provisions of this act so far as possible.

Section § 10003

Explanation

This law states that if any part of a specific section of the penal code starting at Section 2000 is found to be unconstitutional, it won't impact the legality or validity of the rest of that section. In simpler terms, one bad part doesn't ruin the whole thing.

If any portion of Part 3 (commencing with Section 2000) is held unconstitutional, that decision shall not affect the validity of any other portion of Part 3 (commencing with Section 2000).

Section § 10004

Explanation

Headings within this document, like division or section titles, don't influence the interpretation or purpose of the actual rules or laws described. They're just there to help organize things but don't change how the law is applied.

Division, chapter, article, and section headings contained herein shall not be deemed to govern, limit, modify or in any manner affect the scope, meaning or intent of the provisions of any division, chapter, article or section hereof.

Section § 10005

Explanation

This law allows a public officer to delegate their powers or responsibilities to a deputy or someone else they legally authorize. Basically, if an officer has certain duties or powers, someone else can handle them if given proper authorization.

Whenever, by the provisions of this act, a power is granted to a public officer or a duty imposed upon such an officer, the power may be exercised or the duty performed by a deputy of the officer or by a person authorized pursuant to law by the officer.

Section § 10006

Explanation

This section explains that minors in juvenile institutions, like the Youth Authority or local juvenile halls, cannot watch videos or movies that include harmful content as defined by a specific part of the law.

It also states that detention facilities, including those housing adults or minors, can set rules about what videos or movies can be shown. These rules should ensure the security of the facility and the safety of the public.

(a)CA Penal Law Code § 10006(a) The Department of the Youth Authority and local juvenile halls and camps are prohibited from allowing a minor detained in any institution or facility under their respective jurisdiction to view a videotape or movie shown by the institution or facility that contains harmful matter, as specified in Chapter 7.6 (commencing with Section 313) of Title 9 of Part 1.
(b)CA Penal Law Code § 10006(b) The Department of Corrections, the Department of the Youth Authority, county juvenile halls and camps, and local adult detention facilities may promulgate regulations regarding the showing of videotapes and movies at any institution or facility under their respective jurisdiction in order to provide for the reasonable security of the institution or facility in which a minor or adult is confined and for the reasonable protection of the public consistent with Section 2600.

Section § 10007

Explanation

The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in California can use temporary or portable buildings to offer rehabilitation programs, treatment, education, or even as housing for inmates. However, it must ensure that this does not compromise the safety of the inmates or staff.

The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation may use portable or temporary buildings to provide rehabilitation, treatment, and educational services to inmates within its custody, or to house inmates, as long as that housing does not jeopardize inmate or staff safety.

Section § 10008

Explanation

This law requires that when someone dies in custody, the correctional agency responsible must publicly share specific information on their website. They must include the agency's name, the county, facility, and location of the death, as well as the deceased's race, gender, age, the date of death, their custodial status, and details about how they died. This information must be posted within 10 days of the death, but if notifying family takes longer, the agency gets an extra 10 days to attempt to inform them first. Any changes to the details must be updated within 30 days. An "in-custody death" covers various situations where law enforcement has custody, including during arrests, transfers, or time in a controlled facility, and even in medical facilities.

(2)CA Penal Law Code § 10008(b)(2) If the agency seeks to notify the next of kin and is unable to notify them within 10 days of the death, the agency shall be given an additional 10 days to make good faith efforts to notify next of kin before the information shall be posted for the public to view on the agency’s internet website.
(c)CA Penal Law Code § 10008(c) “In-custody death” means the death of a person who is detained, under arrest, or is in the process of being arrested, is en route to be incarcerated, or is incarcerated at a municipal or county jail, state prison, state-run boot camp prison, boot camp prison that is contracted out by the state, any state or local contract facility, or other local or state correctional facility, including any juvenile facility. “In-custody death” also includes deaths that occur in medical facilities while in law-enforcement custody.
