• Newsom signs bill requiring Riverside County Sheriff and Coroner offices to be separated (kesq.com) — Palm Desert's City Council recently opposed a new state law that forces Riverside County to separate its sheriff and coroner offices and create an independent medical examiner by 2027. While supporters say the change improves transparency in in-custody deaths, Palm Desert leaders argue an existing statewide reform should be tested first and stress preserving local control over county government structure.
