CA Gov't Code Section 26625.8

Since the sheriff’s department previously required each of its deputies to serve on its jail detention staff, and a deputy was permitted to credit time spent as a superior court bailiff prior to January 5, 1987, in lieu of all or part of this jail requirement, employees of the marshal’s office on the operative date of this section shall be required to serve on the jail staff only if they transfer out of the court security bureau. In addition, those employees shall receive day-for-day credit on the jail requirement for time spent prior to the operative date of this section in bailiff-related services in the municipal court to the same extent as sheriff’s deputies receive such credit for time spent in bailiff-related services in the superior court. The purpose of this section is to provide equality of treatment for those who have provided equivalent service in the municipal and superior courts.
