Bill > AB1627

This bill disqualifies individuals from serving as peace officers if they were employed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) between September 1, 2025, and January 20, 2029, or by the Alabama or Georgia Departments of Corrections between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2026, and also prohibits such individuals from being employed as teachers, principals, superintendents, chancellors, or other administrators in California's public education system, including K-12 schools, community colleges, the California State University, and the University of California. For those disqualified, the bill allows them to petition the State Personnel Board to restore their eligibility by demonstrating rehabilitated moral character, and requires background investigations for peace officer and education positions to include inquiries into prior employment with these specific agencies. The bill aims to address concerns about the conduct of officers from these agencies and ensure that public employees, particularly those interacting with the public, are of sound moral character, and it clarifies that these provisions apply to all cities, including charter cities, and that any state-mandated costs for local agencies and school districts will be reimbursed.
