Existing law requires specified categories of law enforcement officers to meet training standards pursuant to courses of training certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) . Existing law requires POST to require field training officers who are instructors for the field training program to have at least 8 hours of crisis intervention behavioral health training to better train new peace officers on how to effectively interact with persons with mental illness or intellectual disability. This bill would require the commission to revise that training to include instruction on how to effectively interact with persons with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The bill would specify that a field training officer who completed the training prior to January 1, 2025, or who is exempt from completing the training, is not required to take the updated training, but would require a field training officer who has not completed the training on or after January 1, 2025, or who is not exempt from completing the training, to complete the revised training. This bill would also require the commission, upon the next regularly scheduled review of a training module relating to persons with disabilities, to create and distribute electronically a course on how to recognize and interact with persons with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The bill would require peace officers appointed on or before July 1, 2029, to complete that course by January 1, 2030, and peace officers appointed after July 1, 2029, to complete that course within 180 days of being appointed, as specified. By creating new duties for local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Existing law requires a publicly held domestic or foreign corporation whose principal executive office is located in California to have a minimum number of directors from underrepresented communities, as specified. Existing law requires the Secretary of State to report, among other things, the number of corporations that are in compliance with those provisions, and authorizes the secretary to impose fines for violations of those provisions, as specified. Existing law defines "director from an underrepresented community" for purposes of those provisions to mean an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. This bill would revise this definition to include an individual who self-identifies as Armenian, Assyrian, Greek, Jewish, Muslim, or Sikh, or who is an individual with a disability.

Existing law, known as the Donahoe Higher Education Act, provides for a public postsecondary education system in the state.

This bill would prohibit the California Community Colleges and the California State University from inviting, and would request the University of California to not invite, a sponsored professor, as defined, to its campus or facility if the professor is employed by a college or university that is funded by a country that has received an adverse judgment regarding the destruction of cultural heritage artifacts or sites by the International Court of Justice, as specified. Existing law, the California Cultural and Historical Endowment Act, establishes the California Cultural and Historical Endowment in the Natural Resources Agency. Among other things, the act authorizes the endowment to make grants and loans on a competitive basis to public agencies and nonprofit organizations, as defined, to encourage development of California's historical and cultural resources. The bill would prohibit a museum in California that receives public funding from displaying any country-funded item or artifact, or sending to a country or receiving from a country any item or artifact, if that country has received an adverse judgment by the International Court of Justice regarding its destruction of cultural heritage artifacts or sites, as specified. The bill would also authorize a museum in California that receives public funding to prohibit the display an item or artifact that is suspiciously country-funded if that country has received an adverse judgment by the International Court of Justice regarding the country's destruction of cultural heritage artifacts or sites, as specified.
