Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains wrote the new bill after the killing of a prominent Sikh activist in Canada set off a political rift between Canada and India .
The FBI has reportedly begun to visit and call some Sikhs in the state to warn their lives could be under threat.
Bains’ legislation would create a training program for law enforcement to combat and prevent transnational repression.
Last July , California lawmakers approved a resolution that recognized anti-Sikh mobs in 1984 India as a genocide.
Many Sikhs in California who fled that violence "are very concerned about the safety and risk of their loved ones, their children, their folks who are engaged in local politics or who do vocalize their political opinions about India ,” said Puneet Kaur , senior state policy manager for the Sikh Coalition .
Some who oppose Bains’ effort are less confident about their ability to stop the bill.
Jeevan Zutshi , a real estate broker and activist known in many Hindu American circles, said he believes those who accuse other Indians Americans of domestic terrorism could be labeled as foreign agents if the bill is passed.
Last year's caste bill sailed through the Legislature even though Hindu groups fiercely pushed back.
