Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 70 of the Penal Code, relating to peace officers.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits peace officers, defined as law enforcement personnel, from taking on any secondary employment, including contract work or volunteer positions, with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or any entity involved in immigration enforcement. Violating this prohibition is considered an act of dishonesty and can lead to decertification as a peace officer. Peace officers are also required to report any offers or attempts at such secondary employment to their employing law enforcement agency. Additionally, all records concerning peace officers' secondary employment will be considered public records under the California Public Records Act. The bill also clarifies that if the state mandates costs for local agencies to comply with these new duties, reimbursement will be provided.
