SB 509: Office of Emergency Services: training: transnational repression.

The bill aims to enhance the state's emergency response services by requiring the Office of Emergency Services to develop a training program on recognizing and responding to transnational repression. This training will be provided through the California Specialized Training Institute by January 1, 2027. The goal is to equip emergency responders with the necessary skills to address the complex and evolving nature of transnational repression, which can include human rights abuses and other forms of oppression.
