Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill AB 334 clarifies the circumstances under which law enforcement officers must undergo drug and alcohol testing after critical incidents. It specifies that testing is required for officers whose actions actually caused death or serious injury or who discharged a firearm at a person. This change is significant because it ensures that testing is clearly tied to the officer's actions in serious situations, which can promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement practices. Additionally, the amendment establishes a defined effective date for the bill, ensuring that everyone is aware of when these new policies will start to take effect.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill requires law enforcement agencies to adopt a written policy regarding drug and alcohol testing following an officer-involved critical incident.
An “officer-involved critical incident" is an incident that occurs in the performance of a law enforcement officer's official duties and in which either 1) the actions of the officer result in death or great bodily harm to a person or 2) the officer discharges a firearm at a person.
The written policy must require that a law enforcement officer who is involved in an officer-involved critical incident submit to drug and alcohol testing following the incident and that the testing be completed as soon as practicable.
The bill also requires that the drugs to be tested for include, at least, alcohol, amphetamines, cannabis or cannabinoids, opiates, cocaine, phencyclidine (PCP), and anabolic steroids.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
