On January 1, 2022, AB 481 was signed into law adding Government Code sections 7070 et. seq. This law mandates the establishment of an Ordinance requiring law enforcement agencies to develop a policy, provide a list of equipment, and obtain approval of their governing body, prior to requesting, seeking, or using ‘military equipment’ either permanently or temporarily.
The Nevada County Sheriff’s office will present its Military Equipment Use Policy at the April 26, 2022 meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Several of the qualified items will be on display between 8:00 am and 11:00 am in the Empire Room, located upstairs in the Eric Rood Administrative Center. The MRAP “rescue” vehicle will also be on display outside for community members to tour.
