SB 385: Peace officers.
What SB 385 does, verified December 7, 2025
This bill aims to amend the Penal Code to remove the requirement for the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to approve and adopt education criteria for peace officers. The existing law had a deadline of June 1, 2023, for the chancellor of the California community colleges to develop a modern policing degree program and submit a report to the legislature. The report was to outline a plan to implement the program. The bill declares that it will take effect immediately, removing the urgency deadline.
