What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each law enforcement agency that maintains a special unit

trained to deal with unusually violent or dangerous situations (commonly known as

a SWAT team) to submit an annual report to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Under

this bill, the report must contain certain information such as the number of times

that the law enforcement agency deployed the team in the previous year, the reason

and legal authority for the deployment, and the number of arrests made. This bill

requires DOJ to submit to the legislature annually an analysis and summary of the

reports from the law enforcement agencies and to post the analysis and summary on

DOJ's Internet site.
