Summary

The bill expands California’s existing restrictions on crowd‑control weapons to include flash‑bang grenades, banning their use near schools, parks, or where children are present and prohibiting them for immigration enforcement. It also bars peace officers from using explosive breaching charges for immigration purposes. Agencies must publish detailed reports of any flash‑bang, kinetic projectile, or chemical agent use within 60 days, and the state will reimburse any mandated costs.
