SB1335 is a bill that mandates the posting of deputy constable appointments on the relevant website within 10 business days. Under current law, constables can appoint deputies, stenographers, clerks, and assistants as necessary, with these appointments being made in writing. The new bill language requires that, in addition to the written appointment, the name of the appointed deputy constable must be posted on the website of either the constable, the county Board of Supervisors, or the county itself within 10 business days following the appointment. This bill aims to increase transparency regarding the appointment of deputy constables. There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund from this legislation.
