What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
