Department of Justice.

Removed the word 'federal' before 'immigration enforcement officer' in all occurrences, broadening the bill's applicability from specifically federal immigration officers to any immigration enforcement officer involved in a shooting resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian.

Removed coauthor attributions (Principal coauthor: Senator Perez; Coauthors: Assembly Members Bauer-Kahan, Connolly, Harabedian, and Solache) and legislative history amendment dates from the enrolled text.

Corrected typographical errors present in the Senate amended version: removed a stray word 'The' before 'Consistent with the procedures,' and fixed double articles ('a an unarmed civilian' to 'an unarmed civilian').

The bill now only applies to shootings resulting in the death of an 'unarmed civilian' rather than any civilian, significantly narrowing when state prosecutors must investigate federal immigration enforcement officer-involved shootings.

A new Section 1 establishes legislative intent that the Attorney General exercise all lawful power to provide transparency and protect constitutional rights in cases involving immigration enforcement officer-involved shootings killing unarmed civilians.

Senator Perez is added as principal coauthor, reflecting Senate sponsorship of the amendment.

New subsection (b)(4) requires the state prosecutor to document facts if they are prevented from accessing witnesses, documents, or evidence such that a thorough investigation is not possible, creating a paper trail for potential federal obstruction.

New subsection (e) adds a Supremacy Clause savings clause stating the section shall not be interpreted to regulate federal agents' conduct or impose obligations violating the U.S. Constitution, likely added to preempt federal preemption challenges.

The investigation procedures are now explicitly tied to existing procedures in Section 12525.3, adding a cross-reference that was not in the Assembly version.

The trigger for state prosecutor investigation and potential prosecution was narrowed from any 'federal immigration enforcement officer-involved shooting of a civilian' to only a 'shooting resulting in the death of a civilian.' Non-fatal shootings by federal immigration officers are no longer covered.

A standalone Section 1 expressing legislative intent to require investigation into 'any incident involving the shooting of a civilian by federal immigration enforcement agents' was removed entirely. This section had used broader language than the operative provision and could have been cited to support a wider interpretation.

The fiscal committee designation changed from 'no' to 'yes,' meaning the bill now requires review by the Legislative Fiscal Committee, typically because it imposes costs on state or local government entities.

The act title was revised to remove 'relating to criminal law,' and the digest heading dropped the 'Criminal law' label. This is a reclassification that may reflect the narrowed scope or a legislative drafting preference.

Added Section 12525.4 to the Government Code requiring the state prosecutor (Attorney General) to conduct an independent, transparent, and thorough investigation into any incident involving a federal immigration enforcement officer shooting a civilian.

Requires the state prosecutor to prepare written reports containing a statement of facts and a detailed analysis and conclusion for each investigatory issue.

Requires the state prosecutor to post and maintain each written report on a public internet website, with appropriate redactions for information required by law to be kept confidential.

Authorizes the state prosecutor to initiate and prosecute criminal actions against federal immigration enforcement officers found to have violated state law.

Added a severability clause (Section 2) stating that if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions continue in effect.

Changed from a non-binding statement of legislative intent ('It is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation...') to binding operative law with specific duties and obligations. The original intent language appears to be retained alongside the new operative provisions.

Fiscal committee review changed from 'no' to 'yes,' indicating the amended bill now requires fiscal analysis due to its operative nature.
