Summary

AB 2337 changes California law so that any theft committed by a peace officer while on duty is treated as grand theft, no matter the value. It also adds that kind of theft to the list of serious misconduct that can cause the officer’s certification to be suspended or revoked by the Peace Officer Standards and Training commission. The bill sets new investigation rules and says the state will not reimburse local agencies for any costs.
