The courtroom assignment of bailiffs in the Los Angeles County Superior Court after consolidation pursuant to this article shall be determined by the presiding judge and the bailiff’s management representative; or their designees. Any new bailiff assignments shall be made only after consultation with the affected judge or commissioner in whose courtroom a new assignment is planned, the bailiff’s management representative, and with the bargaining unit of the bailiff employee, if the employee is represented.
It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this section, to ensure that courtroom assignments are made in a manner which best assures that the interests of the affected judge or commissioner and bailiff are protected.
