Tulare County, California
status
No public Board of Supervisors record
No record was found of the Tulare County Board of Supervisors placing AB 1185, civilian sheriff oversight, or an inspector general on any agenda or in any public statement. The county's 'Countywide Oversight Board' is a successor-agency financial oversight body unrelated to the sheriff.
What is AB 1185?
AB 1185 (2020) added California Government Code § 25303.7. It lets a California county establish civilian oversight of its sheriff (a sheriff oversight board, an Office of Inspector General, or both) either by action of the Board of Supervisors or by a vote of county residents.
The law is permissive, not a mandate: each county decides whether to create one. Where a county does, the Board of Supervisors may grant the body subpoena power.
