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 collaborate with host cities and committees to plan and implement security protocols for both the events and associated official watch parties.
The bill outlines specific requirements for preventing human trafficking during these events, directing the Office to work with businesses on supply chain monitoring, ensure proper posting of trafficking hotline information, coordinate hotel staff training on recognizing trafficking indicators, and facilitate law enforcement operations in high-risk areas. Additional safety priorities include addressing discrimination and other security concerns typical of large-scale sporting events.
To formalize these arrangements, the Office must establish memoranda of understanding with host cities according to a specified timeline: six months before the World Cup, and one year prior to both the Super Bowl and Olympic/Paralympic Games. These agreements will detail the implementation of all required safety and security measures. The bill includes provisions for state reimbursement of costs incurred by local agencies in fulfilling these new mandates, pending review by the Commission on State Mandates.
