HISTORY
In September of 2021, the State of California enacted Assembly Bill 481, codified as California Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, with the stated goals of providing legally enforceable safeguards to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used.
California Government Code section 7071 required every law enforcement agency to do the following by May 1, 2022:
Create a military equipment use policy including an itemized military equipment inventory.
Obtain approval of that policy by the applicable governing body at a regular public meeting.
Publish that policy 30 days prior to the above required approval hearing.
