Assembly BillNo. 953


Introduced by Assembly Member Weber

February 26, 2015


An act to add Section 12525.5 to the Government Code, and to amend Sections 13012 and 13519.4 of the Penal Code, relating to racial profiling.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 953, as amended, Weber. Law enforcement: racial profiling.

Existing law creates the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training and requires it to develop and disseminate guidelines and training for all law enforcement officers, as described. Existing law prohibits a law enforcement officer from engaging in racial profiling and requires the training prescribe patterns, practices, and protocols that prevent racial profiling, as defined. Existing law requires the Legislative Analyst’s Office to conduct a study of the data that is voluntarily collected by jurisdictions that have instituted a program of data collection with regard to racial profiling.

Thisbegin delete billend deletebegin insert bill, which would be known as the Racial and Identity Profiling Act of 2015,end insert would, among other changes, revise the definition of racial profiling to instead refer to racial or identity profiling, would make a conforming change to the prohibition against law enforcement officers engaging in that practice, and would make the prohibition specifically applicable to probation and parole officers. The bill would also require a law enforcement officer who is the subject of a complaint of racial or identity profiling that is sustained to participate in training to correct racial and identity profiling at least every 6 months for 2 years, starting from the date a complaint is found to have been sustained.

The bill would require, beginning July 1, 2016, the Attorney General to establish the Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board (RIPA) to eliminate racial and identity profiling and improve diversity and racial and identity sensitivity in law enforcement. The bill would specify the composition of the board. The bill would require the board, among other duties, to investigate and analyze state and local law enforcement agencies’ racial and identity profiling policies and practices, to annually make publicly available its findings and recommendations, to hold public meetings annually, as specified, and to issue the board’s first annual report no later than January 1, 2018.

By imposing a higher level of service on local entities that employ peace officers, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

5described in subdivision (a) of Section 13510 and who adhere to

31(d) The Legislature finds and declares as follows:

32(1) The working men and women in California law enforcement
33risk their lives every day. The people of California greatly
34appreciate the hard work and dedication of peace officers in
35protecting public safety. The good name of these officers should
36not be tarnished by the actions of those few who commit
37discriminatory practices.

38(2) Racial or identity profiling is a practice that presents a great
39danger to the fundamental principles of our Constitution and a
40democratic society. It is abhorrent and cannot be tolerated.

P10   1(3) Racial or identity profiling alienates people from law
2enforcement, hinders community policing efforts, and causes law
3enforcement to lose credibility and trust among the people whom
4law enforcement is sworn to protect and serve.

5(4) Pedestrians, users of public transportation, and vehicular
6occupants who have been stopped, searched, interrogated, and

10or physical disability are the victims of discriminatory practices.

11(5) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting the changesbegin insert toend insert
12 this section made by the act that added this paragraph thatbegin delete more

additional training is required to address the pernicious
14practice of racial or identity profiling and that enactment of this
15section is in no way dispositive of the issue of how the state should
16deal with racial or identity profiling.

17(e) “Racial or identity profiling,” for purposes of this section,
18is the consideration of, or reliance on, to any degree, actual or
19perceived race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion,
20gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or mental or
21physical disability in deciding which persons to subject tobegin delete officer

28a traffic stop, issuing a citation, and making an arrest.

38practices, and protocols that prevent racial or identity profiling. In
39developing the training, the commission shall consult with the
40Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board established pursuant
P11   1to subdivision (j). The course of instruction shall include, but not
2be limited to, significant consideration of each of the following
3subjects:

4(1) Identification of key indices and perspectives that make up
5racial, identity, and cultural differences among residents in a local
6community.

7(2) Negative impact of intentional and implicit biases,
8prejudices, and stereotyping on effective law enforcement,
9including examination of how historical perceptions of
10discriminatory enforcement practices have harmed
11police-community relations and contributed to injury, death,
12disparities in arrest, detention and incarceration rights, and
13wrongful convictions.

14(3) The history and role of the civil and human rights movement
15and struggles and their impact on law enforcement.

16(4) Specific obligations of peace officers in preventing,
17reporting, and responding to discriminatory or biased practices by
18fellow peace officers.

19(5) Perspectives of diverse, local constituency groups and
20experts on particular racial, identity, and cultural and
21police-community relations issues in a local area.

22(6) The prohibition against racial or identity profiling in
23subdivision (f).

24(i) Once the initial basic training is completed, each peace officer
25in California as described in subdivision (a) of Section 13510 who
26adheres to the standards approved by the commission shall be
27required to complete a refresher course every five years thereafter,
28or on a more frequent basis if deemed necessary, in order to keep
29current with changing racial, identity, and cultural trends. In
30addition to any remedies provided in law or equity, any peace
31officer who is the subject of a complaint of racial or identity
32profiling that is sustained shall participate in training to correct
33racial or identity profiling at least every six months for two years,
34starting from the date a complaint is found to have been sustained.

35(j) (1) Beginning July 1, 2016, the Attorney General shall
36establish the Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board (RIPA)
37for the purpose of eliminating racial and identity profiling, and
38improving diversity and racial and identity sensitivity in law
39enforcement.
