AB 1537: Peace officers: secondary employment.
This bill aims to prohibit peace officers from being employed by or contracting with entities that engage in immigration enforcement, including the US Department of Homeland Security. The bill makes this employment a form of dishonesty and grounds for decertification as a peace officer. Peace officers must report any secondary employment related to immigration enforcement to their employing law enforcement agency. The bill also states that records related to this secondary employment are public records. The state will be required to reimburse local agencies and school districts for any costs associated with implementing this bill.
