California Olympic and Paralympic Public Safety Command: agreements with state and local agencies.

Responsibility for negotiating agreements, receiving certifications, entering memoranda of understanding, and overseeing out-of-state deployments shifts from the California Olympic and Paralympic Public Safety Command (COPPSC) to the Office of Emergency Services throughout the bill.

Agreements now cover not only law enforcement personnel but also 'other resources necessary to safeguard life, property, and critical infrastructure,' broadening the scope beyond just personnel deployment.

New provision authorizes the Director of Emergency Services or their designee to administer oaths, conduct swearing-ins, and deputize out-of-state law enforcement personnel for the limited purpose of performing general 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games law enforcement duties, contingent on completion of all applicable training and certification requirements.

The peace officer status exemption in Section 830.45(b) now references both Sections 1030 and 1031 of the Government Code (previously only Section 1031), broadening which statutory requirements are deemed satisfied.

The streamlined training program requirement is simplified from 'satisfy key requirements for qualifications under the POST program' to simply 'include training as determined by the commission,' giving the commission more discretion over program content.

'General law enforcement duties' is renamed to 'General 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games law enforcement duties' and expanded to include 'maintenance of public order' and 'protection of life and property' in addition to the previously listed duties.

'Temporary deployment' now specifies that start and end dates are determined by the Office of Emergency Services in consultation with local officials, rather than being an open-ended limited-duration assignment capped at 120 days.

A new condition (Section 830.45(a)(6)) requires that the Office of Emergency Services has entered into an agreement with the employing agency of the out-of-state officer before that officer can be recognized as a peace officer in California.

The bill now specifies 'full-time law enforcement officer' rather than just 'law enforcement officer,' and requires two years of continuous full-time experience performing duties 'with a law enforcement agency of another state,' tightening the eligibility criteria.

Misconduct reporting timing changes from 'immediately' to 'as soon as practicable,' and the commission must now also report complaints to the Office of Emergency Services. The Director of Emergency Services gains authority to report misconduct to the commission's executive director, and the executive director must report any suspension or rescission of authorization back to the Director.

New Penal Code Section 830.45 grants temporary peace officer status in California to out-of-state law enforcement officers deployed for the 2028 Games, provided they meet conditions including two years of continuous full-time experience, good standing with their agency, completion of a POST streamlined training certificate, and no history of serious misconduct. The section sunsets January 1, 2029.

A new non-precedent clause states that the section applies only to deployment in connection with the 2028 Games and shall not be construed to establish precedent for future permanent changes to peace officer selection, training, certification, or decertification standards.

The entity responsible for negotiating agreements is now explicitly identified as 'the Office of Emergency Services' rather than simply COPPSC, though COPPSC remains the operational command. The act description now references adding both Section 830.45 and Section 13519.16 to the Penal Code.

Section 8591.6.5 now includes formal definitions for 'command,' 'commission,' 'general law enforcement duties' (investigation, patrol, responding to police service requests, enforcement actions), 'out-of-state law enforcement personnel,' and 'temporary deployment' (capped at 120 calendar days).

New deployment conditions require: written certification from the employing out-of-state agency that each individual meets selection standards; a temporary proof of eligibility issued by POST for the duration of deployment; compliance with California peace officer laws with complaint notification and cross-state reporting; and a written MOU between the command and the employing California agency covering authority, supervision, liability allocation, training, and reporting.

Out-of-state personnel must operate exclusively under the command or control of the COPPSC or a designated California supervisor, comply with California use-of-force policies and incident reporting requirements, and are limited to general law enforcement duties unless they obtain additional commission authorization for investigative functions.

The streamlined training program (Section 13519.16) is now explicitly limited to deployments not exceeding 120 calendar days, must include training the commission determines necessary for out-of-state personnel assisting local agencies, and requires that participants meet the specific requirements of the new Section 830.45. The certificate of training is valid only during the officer's period of service but in no case beyond 120 calendar days.

The POST executive director may suspend or rescind a temporary proof of eligibility upon receipt of a complaint, charge, or allegation of serious misconduct. Out-of-state personnel may face disciplinary action from their home state, including decertification.

The command must submit a report to the Assembly and Senate Public Safety Committees by January 1, 2029, covering the number of out-of-state personnel deployed, use-of-force incidents, complaints and disciplinary actions, training deficiencies, and legislative recommendations. The reporting requirement becomes inoperative on January 1, 2033.

New legislative finding (f) establishes that California peace officers are the primary and preferred source of law enforcement for the 2028 Games, and out-of-state personnel may only be used to augment available California resources. This creates a clear preference hierarchy that was not in the prior version.

The term 'public safety law enforcement personnel' is replaced throughout with simply 'law enforcement personnel,' removing the 'public safety' qualifier and potentially broadening or clarifying who falls under the bill's provisions.

In legislative finding (c), the language changes from local jurisdictions having the ability to 'exercise mutual aid powers with' other agencies to simply 'receive assistance from' other agencies, shifting the legal framing away from the mutual aid framework toward a more general assistance model.

The operational timeframe is expanded from 'before and during' the 2028 Games to 'within a reasonable timeframe before, during, and after' the Games, extending the period during which out-of-state personnel may be deployed and their training certificates remain valid.

Section 8591.6.5(c) changes the compliance requirement for out-of-state law enforcement personnel from abiding by 'Section 7282.5' to abiding by 'state and local law,' broadening the legal obligations they must follow while operating in California.

The bill no longer amends Government Code Section 8591.5 (which established COPPSC). That entire section was deleted, meaning the bill now only adds new provisions without modifying the existing COPPSC establishment language.

The operational timeframe was expanded from 'before and during' the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games to 'within a reasonable timeframe before, during, and after' the Games. This appears in the purpose statement, personnel deployment conditions, training program scope, and certificate validity period.

Section 1(c) changed from requiring the ability to 'exercise mutual aid powers with other agencies' to the ability to 'receive assistance from other law enforcement agencies.' This removes the mutual aid framing (which implies reciprocal obligations) and limits it to receiving one-way assistance specifically from law enforcement.

Throughout the bill, 'public safety personnel' was replaced with 'public safety law enforcement personnel,' narrowing the scope to exclude non-law-enforcement public safety roles such as fire or emergency medical services.

Section 1(e) now states that 'the Office of Emergency Services may enter into agreements' rather than 'local jurisdictions may enter into agreements,' centralizing agreement authority at the state level instead of leaving it with local agencies.

Section 2(c) now requires out-of-state personnel to abide by 'state and local law' in addition to Section 7282.5, broadening the legal compliance requirement beyond just that single statute.

The fiscal committee vote changed from 'no' to 'yes,' indicating the bill now carries state fiscal implications that were not present in the prior version.

New Section 8591.6.5 of the Government Code requires COPPSC to negotiate and enter into agreements with state and local agencies within and outside California for training, mutual cooperation, information sharing, resource sharing, and use of public safety personnel during the 2028 Olympics.

New legislative findings and declarations (Section 1) state that existing law limits mutual aid to circumstances of local emergency due to disaster or extreme peril, and that the Legislature intends to allow local jurisdictions to enter agreements with out-of-state agencies under specific conditions including temporary service, POST certification, and compliance with all state and local laws.

New Section 13519.16 of the Penal Code requires the POST commission to establish a streamlined training program for out-of-state public safety enforcement personnel deployed for the 2028 Games. The program must satisfy key POST qualification requirements tailored to the unique conditions of the Games, be limited to personnel used only for the Olympics, and issue certificates valid only for the period before and during the Games.

Out-of-state public safety personnel contracted to augment security during the 2028 Olympics must obtain a certificate of training under the new streamlined POST program and must abide by Government Code Section 7282.5.

The new Penal Code Section 13519.16 (streamlined training program) sunsets and is repealed on January 1, 2029.

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