Official California Legislative Information - Bill Information SB 551--CID ombudsman
Fred Pilot alerted me to the passage by a 23-13-4 vote in the California State Senage of the (presently toothless) CID ombudsman bill. This is a pilot program for an official with no law enforcement or election observation powers. It would be nice if this new official could do more than serve as a CID law webmaster. May not be in the cards, though.
