California lawmakers are renewing efforts to ban face coverings for law enforcement officers, including federal agents, operating in the state. Lawmakers say the new bill is in response to the federal court striking down the previous attempt after ruling that the law was applied unevenly.
Senate Bill 1004 seeks to delay the mask ban to Jan. 1, 2027, and to add state law enforcement to the list of agencies prohibited from wearing masks under the No Secret Police Act.
