Peace officers.

Summary

The bill adds a new Penal Code section that forces law‑enforcement agencies to adopt a policy preventing peace officers from carrying their issued firearms whenever their blood‑alcohol level is above zero, whether on or off duty. The rule does not apply to officers on undercover assignments. If the state determines the policy creates costs, those costs must be reimbursed to local agencies.
