lative Policy Advisor, bringing our Sacramento legislative team
to three.
In addition to collaborating on legislation addressing community-law enforcement relations, we are also the sponsors of
four bills this year:
AB 266 (Cooley) concerning medical marijuana will:
• Protect local control by providing that the state may issue a
conditional license only; the actual license to operate would
be issued by the local government;
• Protect public safety by establishing detailed security measures and inventorying procedures for transport to prevent
diversion.
• Protect public health by establishing uniform health and
safety standards, including quality assurance standards
promulgated by the Department of Consumer Affairs.
SB 262 (Galgiani and Anderson) concerning law enforcement
use of unmanned aircraft systems will:
• Apply what is currently required by the Fourth Amendment to the use of unmanned aircraft. This allows for the
utilization of plausible vantage points in compliance with
the Fourth Amendment.
• Apply privacy regulations that are currently applied to
manned aircraft to unmanned aircraft. We do not find it
appropriate to apply conflicting regulations to manned and
unmannedaircraft systems.
AB 529 (Jones-Sawyer) concerning armed prohibited persons
will:
• Require the DMV to access the Prohibited Armed Persons
File in connection with the registration of vehicles and the
issuance and renewal of driver’s licenses and registration of
vehicles.
• Require the DMV to refuse to issue or renew the license or
registration of a person in the APP file.
AB 1118 (Bonta): This bill establishes the Procedural Justice Task
Force
• Would provide for grant funding to be awarded to local law
enforcement departments for the purpose of implementing
and enhancing procedural justice training.
• Would also require the task force to manage these programs, monitor their implementation and serve in an advisory capacity to sites leading implementation.
It was a pleasure to see many of you in Sacramento for Cal
Chiefs’ Legislative Day, where we were able to collectively voice
our support for the aforementioned bills. ■
