SB 1464 - Law enforcement of public health orders (PAN)

*April 6th, 2022 at the beginning of hearing, Senator Pan called to reschedule the hearing. We do not have a new hearing date yet.

This bill would instead require those sheriffs and peace officers to enforce the public health orders. By expanding the duties of local law enforcement, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The bill would additionally prohibit state funds from being provided to any law enforcement agency that publicly announces that they will oppose, or adopts a policy to oppose, a public health order.
