Bill > AB2760

This bill temporarily bans local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies from using or purchasing with state funds a specific type of weapon known as a "wearable electroshock device," which the legislation defines as an incapacitating electric-shock weapon designed to be worn specifically as a glove, while explicitly excluding standard handheld devices like traditional Tasers or stun guns. Set to expire on January 1, 2030, the measure requires police departments and other law enforcement entities to officially update their use-of-force policies to reflect this prohibition. Additionally, the bill directs the California Department of Justice to consult with various community, tech, and law enforcement stakeholders to conduct a comprehensive study examining the safety and community impacts of these glove-like shock devices, with a formal report and recommendations due to the Legislature by January 1, 2029.
