CA SB773

Revises the State 911 Advisory Board membership structure effective June 1, 2021, reducing representatives from California Police Chiefs Association, California State Sheriffs' Association, and CalNENA Executive Board from 2 members each to 1 member each.

Adds three new board member positions: one representative from the California Welfare Directors Association, one county public guardian, and one county mental health professional, all appointed by the Governor.

Allows existing board members whose terms began before June 1, 2021, to serve out their full terms under previous law before the reduced membership takes effect.

Establishes legislative intent to direct 911 calls involving mental health, homelessness, and public welfare issues to appropriate social services agencies rather than law enforcement.

Maintains board meeting requirements under the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act and allows members to designate alternates to represent them at board meetings.
