The California Legislature approved a bill Monday night that prohibits law enforcement officers from using electric shock gloves in the state through 2030.

Assembly Bill 2760, introduced last week by Democratic Assemblymember LaShae Sharp-Collins of San Diego, bans both state and local officers as well as federal agents operating in California from deploying the wearable electroshock devices. The legislation also bars the use of state funds to purchase the gloves and requires the California Department of Justice to study their safety and community impacts.

The bill emerged as a direct response to the Trump administration's plans for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security announced earlier this year that it would spend up to $20 million on the devices, and ICE later awarded a $16.7 million contract for 6,000 pairs of Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters, or G.L.O.V.E.s, manufactured by Compliant Technologies in Kentucky. The gloves are marketed as a non-lethal de-escalation tool.

Opponents of the measure included several California law enforcement agencies that have tested or purchased the devices, such as the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, which spent $35,000 on 10 pairs plus related equipment. Republicans in the Legislature argued the gloves could provide a safer alternative to firearms for subduing suspects.

The legislation now heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, who has until Sept. 30 to sign or veto it. Newsom has not indicated his position. If enacted, the ban would make California the first state to prohibit such devices for law enforcement use.

Federal officials have signaled they will not comply with the measure, calling it an unconstitutional attempt to interfere with immigration enforcement. The bill is expected to face legal challenges.

California has pursued multiple measures this session aimed at limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities, including restrictions on hiring former ICE agents for certain state and local positions
