What AB 32 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill aims to protect public officials from assault in retaliation for their duties. It makes it a crime to assault a judge or former judge of a tribal court, in addition to local, state, or federal courts. The bill clarifies that tribal judges can request confidential records. It also expands an existing crime to include tribal judges and requires legislative findings to support the limitation on access to public meetings and writings. The bill does not require reimbursement for the costs mandated by the state.
