AB1905

Juveniles: custodial interrogation.

Introduced·2/12/26

California AB1905 prohibits custodial interrogation of minors by undercover officers and requires courts to consider non-compliance in statement.

California AB1905 amends the Welfare and Institutions Code to prohibit law enforcement officers from seeking information or statements from individuals under 26 years old who were 17 or younger at the time of the crime and are in custody, if the officers are undercover or working in collaboration with law enforcement. The bill also mandates that courts consider the effect of non-compliance with this provision and any willful violations when determining the admissibility of statements and the credibility of law enforcement officers.
