Bill Summary
Private precharge programs prohibited, and references corrected.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits private "precharge programs" that operate outside the criminal justice system, where merchants detain individuals suspected of shoplifting and refer them to such programs instead of filing a police report. The bill also corrects references in the existing law related to merchant detention and arrest procedures for suspected shoplifting. Specifically, it removes language allowing merchants to detain individuals for the purpose of instituting criminal proceedings, and replaces "a charge" with "an allegation" when referring to the basis for a peace officer to arrest someone without a warrant.
