AB 481 authored by Assembly Member David Chieu ( D- San Francisco) addressed requirements for the funding, acquisition, and use of items considered to be " military equipment." Effective January 1, 2022, AB 481 required law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of their perspectives governing bodies ( Lathrop City Council), by adoption of a military equipment use policy prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. The full text of AB 481 is available here:

To comply with new state requirements for all California law enforcement agencies, the new Lathrop Police Department diligently prepared a policy for the funding, acquisition, and use of designated " military equipment," along with a list of equipment to be used by the new Lathrop Police Department in accordance with AB 481. The Lathrop City Council adopted Ordinance Nos. 22- 433, 22- 436, and 22- 441, related to this matter. p9. 2
