    Key Takeaways

    • Establishes new safety protocols for major sporting events in California from 2026-2028.
    • Requires the Office of Emergency Services to coordinate security with host counties and committees.
    • Mandates specific measures to combat human trafficking, including hotel staff training and hotline posting.
    • Sets strict planning deadlines starting six months before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Gabriel's legislation tasks California's Office of Emergency Services with coordinating comprehensive safety and security measures for upcoming major sporting events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, 2027 Super Bowl, and 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The office must partner with host counties and committees to develop plans addressing human trafficking, discrimination, and other potential security concerns at both the events and official watch parties.

    The bill outlines specific anti-trafficking strategies, requiring businesses to monitor their supply chains, hotels to train staff in recognizing trafficking indicators, and venues to display human trafficking hotline information. The Office of Emergency Services must also facilitate collaboration between law enforcement agencies to target high-risk areas and connect trafficking victims with support services. These preparations build upon the office's existing Large Stadium Initiative and federal special security event protocols.

    To implement these measures, the Office of Emergency Services must establish formal agreements with host counties through memoranda of understanding - six months before the World Cup and one year prior to the Super Bowl and Olympic events. The bill includes provisions for state reimbursement to local agencies for any mandated costs associated with these new security requirements.
