What AB 2485 does, verified April 22, 2026

The bill aims to amend the existing regulations on private investigators. It requires private investigators to provide clients with their initial client service agreement and any amendments or modifications in the client's preferred language, if the client primarily speaks a language other than English. This provision is not considered a crime under the existing act, but rather a requirement to ensure clarity and fairness for clients who may not speak English fluently.
