Bill > SB1105

This bill aims to significantly alter how California law enforcement agencies interact with federal agencies and to prohibit certain practices. It removes the limited arrest authority and peace officer status previously granted to federal criminal investigators and law enforcement officers in California, including for executing arrest warrants. Furthermore, it prohibits California law enforcement agencies from participating in joint task forces or entering into interagency agreements if these collaborations involve racial or identity profiling, which is defined as discriminatory law enforcement based on protected characteristics like race or national origin. The bill also restricts California agencies from assisting operations where federal or out-of-state agencies engage in targeting constitutionally protected expressive conduct, such as protests, or using unauthorized military equipment. Interagency agreements are limited to four years and must be in writing, explicitly prohibiting the prohibited conduct; existing agreements have a grace period until July 1, 2027, to be amended. The bill defines "California law enforcement agency" broadly and clarifies what constitutes an "interagency agreement" to ensure these new restrictions are applied effectively.
