AB 354: Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.

This bill adds new requirements for law enforcement agencies to ensure accountability and transparency. It requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to undergo fingerprint-based state and national criminal history background checks, and authorizes the Commission to inspect and duplicate sensitive information, including criminal history and offender records. The bill also expands the scope of the crime of unlawful disclosure of state summary criminal history information, making it a state-mandated local program. Additionally, the bill declares that it will take effect immediately, eliminating the need for reimbursement by the state for certain costs.
