Statutes Made Obsolete by Trial Court Restructuring: Part 2

   The Legislature has directed the Commission to recommend repeal of statutes made obsolete by the Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act, the Lockyer-Isenberg Trial Court Funding Act of 1997, and the implementation of trial court unification. The Commission made its initial recommendation in 2002. That recommendation was enacted by the Legislature. See Part 1.
   In Part 2 of this study, the Commission recommends further amendment or repeal of statutes made obsolete by restructuring of the trial court system. The recommendation is implemented by SB 79 (Committee on Judiciary), 2003 Cal. Stat. ch. 149. Among other things, the legislation repeals and revises trial court sessions statutes, repeals statutes pertaining to the coordination of operations of the municipal and superior courts in a county, lodges grand jury selection functions with the jury commissioner, permits superior court judges to adopt a local rule of court governing the procedures for the preparation, adoption, and annual revision of the countywide bail schedule, and makes clear that the court's authority to appoint and terminate a subordinate judicial officer includes the authority to delegate the appointment or termination decisions.
   The cleanup process will take several more years to complete, as transitional problems are resolved among the stakeholders.
