During an appearance at Rowley Gym in Gardena, California, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of police reform bills into law on Sept. 30 intending to hold officers accountable for misconduct and setting restrictions on certain uses of force, despite police unions’ disapproval of the legislation.

One of the bills approved, Senate Bill 2, decertifies law enforcement officers who engage in misconduct and preventing them from moving to a different law enforcement agency.
