Restricting Police from Masking Their Identities

2025 - California State Assembly

Conservatives Oppose

Description

This bill prohibits law enforcement officers from wearing masks or face coverings that obscure their identity while performing official duties, except under narrowly defined circumstances. It imposes additional transparency requirements on law enforcement personnel to ensure accountability. CPAC opposed this bill because it undermines law enforcement effectiveness and jeopardizes officer safety in sensitive operations. The House passed this bill on 2025-09-09 by a vote of 45-23. The bill later became law.
