		<ns0:Title>An act to add Chapter 17.45 (commencing with Section 7288) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, and to amend Sections 538d, 538e, 538f, 538g, 538h, and 1299.07 of, and to add Sections 13653 and 13654 to, the Penal Code, relating to crimes, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.</ns0:Title>
		<ns0:RelatingClause>crimes, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately</ns0:RelatingClause>
		<ns0:GeneralSubject>
			<ns0:Subject>Crimes.</ns0:Subject>
		</ns0:GeneralSubject>
		<ns0:DigestText>
			<html:p>Existing law prohibits credibly impersonating a peace officer, firefighter, or employee of a public utility, state or local government agency, or search and rescue team, as specified. Existing law also prohibits willfully and credibly impersonating a peace officer, firefighter, or employee of a public utility, state or local government agency, or search and rescue team through or on an internet website, or by other electronic means, for the purposes of defrauding another. A violation of these prohibitions is punishable as a misdemeanor.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would revise and recast these provisions to prohibit impersonating a law enforcement officer, and would
			 clarify that a law enforcement officer, for these purposes, includes a federal law enforcement officer. The bill would extend these offenses to include willfully and credibly impersonating any of those entities through any means for the purpose of defrauding another. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would, on and after January 1, 2026, require a law enforcement officer operating in California that is not uniformed to visibly display identification that includes their agency and either a name or badge number to the public when performing their enforcement duties, except as specified. The bill would make a violation of these provisions a misdemeanor. The bill would define personnel
			 of a law enforcement agency as any peace officer under California law and any federal law enforcement officer. By creating a new crime and imposing duties on local law enforcement, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
			<html:p>The bill would require any law enforcement agency operating in California to, by January 1, 2026, maintain and publicly post a written policy on the visible identification of sworn personnel, including a purpose statement affirming the agency’s commitment to specified principles including transparency, accountability, and public trust, and a requirement for sworn personnel to visibly display identification and for specified exceptions.
			 The bill would exempt personnel of any agency from the crime for not displaying identification if an agency maintains a policy pursuant to these provisions. The bill would deem a policy consistent with that exception unless a member of the public, an oversight body, or a local governing authority challenges it. The bill would, if the agency does not address deficiencies within 90 days, authorize the complaining party to proceed to a court of competent jurisdiction for a judicial determination of the exemption, as specified.</html:p>
			<html:p>The bill would also authorize a peace officer, as defined, to request an alleged law enforcement officer to present identification when there is probable cause or reasonable suspicion to believe the alleged law enforcement officer has committed
			 crime, including, but not limited to, impersonating a peace officer.</html:p>
			<html:p>Existing law, the Bail Fugitive Recovery Persons Act, regulates bail fugitive recovery agents, defined as a person given written authorization by the bail or depositor of bail and contracted to investigate, surveil, locate, and arrest a bail fugitive and any person employed to assist the bail or depositor of bail to investigate, surveil, locate, and arrest a bail fugitive.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would prohibit a person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive from using that position for the purposes of immigration enforcement and would prohibit a person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive from disclosing personally identifiable information of any bail fugitive that is requested for purposes of immigration enforcement, except as specified.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would declare these provisions are severable.</html:p>
			<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>
			<html:p>With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.</html:p>

		<ns0:Preamble>The people of the State of California do enact as follows:</ns0:Preamble>
		<ns0:BillSection id="id_9655A43C-FE3F-4E58-95A9-48CAB0FBF9E2">
			<ns0:Num>SECTION 1.</ns0:Num>
			<ns0:Content>
				<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(a)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The federal government has launched broad immigration enforcement efforts in California, deploying personnel from various federal
				agencies.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(b)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The increasing use of face
				coverings, the absence of visible names, officer identification number, or other individually identifying information, the failure to be clearly and conspicuously identifiable as federal law enforcement, or the use of unmarked vehicles during enforcement activities has raised concerns for public safety.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(c)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Both the individuals involved and onlookers have reported confusion and fear that they were experiencing or witnessing a crime.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(d)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					In a widely reported incident, when two plain-clothed federal officers wearing masks tackled a woman on the sidewalk and forcibly placed her in an unmarked vehicle, the woman’s family called 911 to report a kidnapping.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(e)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Several news outlets have reported incidents
				of individuals impersonating federal law enforcement officers to harass or detain others, which undermines public trust in law enforcement, especially among vulnerable individuals.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(f)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Charges filed against individuals include kidnapping and impersonating a police officer after allegedly detaining a group of Latino men, impersonating an officer on a university campus, and impersonating an officer in connection with the sexual assault of a woman while threatening her with deportation.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(g)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					While the federal government has publicly condemned impersonations, the use of face coverings and lack of consistent, visible personal and agency identification are making it difficult for individuals and state and local law enforcement to distinguish between authorized personnel and
				bad actors.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(h)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The state has both the authority and responsibility, under its police powers, to maintain order and protect the safety and well-being of all people within its jurisdiction.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(i)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					In order to carry out this duty effectively, the state has the authority to establish identification requirements for law enforcement operating within the state so that the public and its agents can distinguish between individuals who are exercising law enforcement authority and those who are not, particularly in situations where a person is engaging in potentially unlawful behavior.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(j)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Therefore, the state has a compelling interest in identifying and verifying who is and who is not validly claiming or operating under law
				enforcement authority within the state.

									A policy adopted pursuant to this section shall be deemed consistent with Section 13654 of the Penal Code unless a verified written challenge to its legality is submitted to the head of the agency by a member of the public, an oversight body, or a local governing authority, at which time the agency shall be afforded 90 days to correct any deficiencies in the policy.
