What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires at least two investigators to investigate a death that

involves a law enforcement officer. Under current law, neither investigator may be

employed by a law enforcement agency that employs an officer involved in the death.

This bill modifies that limitation and adds another limitation so that neither

investigator may be an individual who was employed or whose immediate family

member was employed within the previous ten years by a law enforcement agency

that employs an officer involved in the death.
