The following documents are public records relating to my victories as Public Administrator.
In 2011, the Governor of the State of California signed a bill prohibiting conflicts of interest in Grand Jury service. This bill would have prevented a former Irvine Valley College professor from attacking me, as an SOCCCD Trustee and Orange County Public Administrator, while that professor was seated on the 2008-2009 Grand Jury.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 916.2 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
916.2. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a grand juror who is a current employee of, or a former or retired employee last employed within the prior three years by, an agency within the investigative jurisdiction of the civil grand jury shall inform the foreperson and court of that fact and shall recuse himself or herself from participating in any grand jury civil investigation of that agency, including any discussion or vote concerning a civil investigation of that agency.
(b) This section shall be in addition to any local policies or rules regarding conflict of interest for grand jurors.
