Summary
The bill directs the Department of Criminal Justice Services to create model policies and training standards for the use of generative AI, machine learning, audiovisual surveillance, and adult or juvenile interrogations by police. All agencies must adopt these policies by July 1 2027, and officers hired before July 1 2026 must finish the required training by January 1 2030. It also bars local police and campus police from operating or equipping forensic laboratories unless the labs are accredited by an ILAC‑signatory body and the equipment is approved.
