 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION

 Assembly Bill

No. 1160

Introduced by Assembly Member Wilson

February 20, 2025

 An act to add Section 7073.5 to the Government Code, relating to law enforcement.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1160, as amended, Wilson.
 Military equipment.

Existing law requires a law enforcement agency, as defined, to obtain specific approval of a governing body prior to acquiring military equipment, as specified. Existing law defines “military equipment” to include an unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicle.

This bill would prohibit a law enforcement agency from purchasing, on or after January 1, 2027, an unmanned, uncrewed, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicle unless the vehicle contains an option to turn off any data collection programs that are not necessary for the vehicle to function or
 and the law enforcement agency uses an American data storage company, as defined, to house all data collected, including, but not limited to, video and photographic images, as specified, or both. For uncrewed, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles purchased on or after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2027, the bill would require a law enforcement agency to use an American data storage company. For uncrewed aerial or ground vehicles owned or possessed by a law enforcement agency prior to January 1, 2026, the bill would require the law enforcement agency to use an American data storage company after the current contract to house the data expires. The bill would require contracts entered into pursuant to these provisions with an American data storage company to prohibit the American data storage company from using, selling, renting, trading, or otherwise sharing this data
 with any other entity.
