    Key Takeaways

    • Prohibits peace officers from carrying firearms when their blood alcohol level is above 0.00%, whether on or off duty.
    • Requires all law enforcement agencies to implement a zero-tolerance alcohol policy for armed officers.
    • Exempts officers from the alcohol restriction while conducting undercover operations.
    • Mandates state reimbursement to local agencies for costs of implementing these new requirements.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Bryan's proposal to regulate peace officers' firearm possession establishes a zero-tolerance blood alcohol policy for law enforcement personnel carrying weapons. The measure requires law enforcement agencies to prohibit officers from carrying firearms when their blood alcohol concentration exceeds 0.00%, applying to both on-duty and off-duty situations.

    The legislation defines "carry" as having direct physical control of or being physically connected to a firearm, including when holstered and affixed to an officer's person. The policy includes a specific exemption for officers conducting undercover assignments while on duty, recognizing the distinct operational requirements of these roles.

    Under the measure's provisions, local law enforcement agencies must develop and implement policies aligned with these new requirements. The bill addresses potential fiscal impacts by providing for state reimbursement to local agencies and school districts if the Commission on State Mandates determines the measure creates state-mandated costs.
