A1515 is a bill to give communities throughout the state the authority to put in place strong community boards to review the policies, practices, and actions of local police departments and officers.
The Values Act would codify and strengthen the separation between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement and lay the groundwork for similar protections for people who interact with other state and local agencies, such as those providing social services.
Bills before the Legislature in 2022 can make progress to curb excessive police power, hold law enforcement accountable, and place power with communities, especially communities of color that bear the brunt of law enforcement.
