BSIS says AB 229 training regulations remain in legal review; July 1 training deadline approaching
Summary
BSIS staff said draft regulations to implement AB 229 (powers-to-arrest and use-of-force training) are extensive and remain under legal review; staff reminded members that new training requirements take effect July 1.
BSIS staff told advisory committee members that regulations to implement AB 229 (which updated powers-to-arrest and use-of-force training requirements) remain under legal review and that the bureau will seek public comment before finalizing the regulatory package.
Why it matters: AB 229 imposes new training standards that affect BSIS-certified powers-to-arrest, use-of-force and firearms instruction; regulated training providers and licensees should prepare to comply by the July 1 effective date.
The bureau said it overhauled two training manuals (powers-to-arrest/use-of-force and firearms) that exceed 100 pages each and described the overall regulatory package as "a monster." Draft regulations are with legal counsel for review; once cleared, BSIS will publish the package for public comment and send notices via the bureau listserv.
Members were directed to subscribe to BSIS email updates on the bureau website for regulatory notices, list of suspensions and other important updates.
Ending: BSIS reiterated the July 1 effective date for new training when asked and said it will post the draft regulations and solicit public comments as soon as legal review is complete.
