Bill > AB420

This bill requires school districts that employ school police officers and charter schools with contracted school police officers to publish an annual report detailing the use of force by these officers. The report must be posted on the school district or charter school's website by the first day of each school year and must include specific details about incidents involving the use of force, such as the number of incidents involving batons, chemical agents, or electronic stun devices. For each incident, the report must specify the location (on or off school property), whether it occurred during school hours or at a school-sponsored event, and for districts with more than 75 school police officers, the rank and years of employment of the officers involved. The report must also include aggregated demographic information about the individuals on whom force was used, without identifying specific individuals. The bill defines key terms like "baton," "chemical agent," and "electronic stun device," and specifies that the first report, covering the 2025-2026 school year, will be due by the first day of the 2026-2027 school year. The legislation aims to increase transparency regarding the use of force by school police officers.
