Bill > AB1622

This bill indefinitely extends the provisions that currently allow for the installation and operation of electrified security fences on certain types of property, such as manufacturing, industrial, or commercial properties used for storing or servicing vehicles, which are powered by low-voltage, solar-charged batteries and meet specific electrical and safety standards, including prominent warning signs and a deactivation device for first responders. The bill also repeals the separate provisions that were set to become operative in 2028, which would have allowed electrified security fences on commercial, manufacturing, or industrial properties but would have been subject to local prohibitions. The legislation clarifies that these regulations are a matter of statewide concern, meaning they apply to all cities, including charter cities, and aims to ensure consistent standards for these fences.
