COMMENTS:
- Author's Statement: According to the author, "AB 3091 continues to build on AB 953 (2015) and AB 1518 (2017) to ensure that law enforcement agencies have enough time to properly collect data on stops and report the data to the Department of Justice. As we ask law enforcement agencies to collect more data we want to make sure that they have the time to develop the necessary tools to implement the law correctly."
- Prior Legislation:
- AB 1518 (Weber), Chapter 328, Statutes of 201, delayed implementation of regulations related to RIPA for one year until January 1, 2018.
- AB 953 (Weber), Chapter 466, Statutes of 2015, established the RIPA Advisory Board, and required each state and local law enforcement agency that employs peace officers to report, at least annually to the Attorney General's office data on stops conducted by that agency in the preceding calendar year.
- AB 1518 (Weber), Chapter 328, Statutes of 201, delayed implementation of regulations related to RIPA for one year until January 1, 2018.
