Law enforcement: Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board (RIPA).

Assembly Member Alanis proposes modifying California's Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board (RIPA) by adding the president of the California District Attorneys Association to its membership and allowing individual board members to include dissenting opinions in annual reports.

The legislation maintains RIPA's core mission of analyzing law enforcement stop data and recommending policies to eliminate racial and identity profiling. Under the proposed changes, any board member could submit conclusions or recommendations that differ from the majority opinion, with RIPA retaining the ability to respond to dissenting views in its reports. The bill preserves existing requirements for RIPA to hold three annual public meetings across California's regions and analyze data from law enforcement agencies' stops, searches, and seizures.

These modifications build upon RIPA's current structure, which includes representatives from law enforcement, civil rights organizations, community groups, and academic experts. The board would continue producing annual reports examining patterns in stop data, evaluating training programs, and offering policy recommendations, with all reports remaining accessible through the Department of Justice's OpenJustice web portal.
