Assembly Bill 481 Law enforcement and state agencies: miliary equipment: funding,

September 2021 .

Under the current law enacted by AB481 (Government Code Section 7070 (c)(10), law
enforcement agencies are required to include , “Specialized firearms and ammunition of less
than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Sections 30510 and 30515 of the
Penal Code, with the exception of standard issue service weapons and ammunition of less
than .50 caliber that are issued to officers, agents, or employees of a law enforcement
agency or a state agency.”
Assembly Bill 1486 (AB1486) is currently moving through the legislative process. One of the
proposed changes is to GC 7070 (c) 10. The proposed change would require law
enforcement agencies to include in their military equipment policies specialized firearms and
ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Sections 30510
and 30515 of the Penal Code, with the exception of standard issue service weapons and
ammunition of less than .50 caliber that are issued to officers, agents or employees of a law
enforcement agency or a state agency.
As used in this paragraph, a “standard issue service weapon” means a firearm, other than
an assault weapon de fined in Sections 30510 and 30515 of the Penal Code, that is of the
type normally issued to, carried, or transported by a peace officer in the course of routine
patrol activities.
This change, if this legislation is approved, would require law enforcement agencies to add
their patrol rifles and ammunition to the list of military equipment, even if they are considered
a “standard issue service weapon.”
Ahead of this legislation, UC SF is identifying to the Regents and including in its military
equipment pol icy its patrol rifles and ammunition.
