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 the University of California and the California State University. The bill mandates that background investigations for peace officer and education positions include inquiries into prior employment with these specific agencies, and allows individuals disqualified under these provisions to petition the State Personnel Board to restore their eligibility by demonstrating rehabilitated moral character. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that existing disqualifications for peace officers are amended to include these new employment restrictions and that the Department of Education will conduct background investigations for educational roles, with provisions for state reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for any mandated costs.
