<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Existing law makes a person ineligible to hold office or employment of any kind with the state, or any county, city, district, or other political or governmental unit of the state, if the person has by oath bound themselves to support, maintain, or further the military or political activities or policies of a foreign government, as specified, or to obey the orders or directions of any foreign government or its officials.
</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law disqualifies a public employee, as defined, from any public employment for 5 years if the employee is convicted of any felony involving accepting or giving, or offering to give, a bribe, the embezzlement of public money, extortion or theft of public money, perjury, or conspiracy to commit any of those crimes arising directly out of their official duties.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would disqualify from employment with the state a person who has been employed by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the period beginning January 20, 2025, and ending January 20, 2029 from state employment.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would make these provisions inoperative on the effective date of a final judicial determination made by the United States Supreme Court or the California Supreme Court that the above-referenced provisions of this bill, or its application, either in whole or in part, is enjoined, found unconstitutional, or held invalid for any reason, and, as of that date, would repeal those provisions.</html:p>
<html:p>

<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Existing law, the State Civil Service Act, requires that the employment procedures of each state agency conform to the federal and state laws governing employment practices, including the use of employment forms, and establishes the
Department of Human Resources as responsible for the collection and review of all employment forms used by state agencies for civil service employment and for the development of standard employment forms for general use by all state agencies.
</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law requires employment forms used by a state agency to require a person applying for employment to disclose whether the person has entered into an agreement with the state regarding previous employment and that prohibits that person from seeking or accepting any subsequent employment with the state.</html:p>
<html:p>If the bill’s provisions are repealed, as specified above, this bill would, instead, require employment forms used by the state to require a person applying for employment to disclose whether the person has ever been employed by the United States Department of Homeland Security, or any of its component agencies, and if so, those specific agencies and dates of employment.</html:p>
<html:p>

The bill would make the provisions of the act severable.
