What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires that the Department of Justice publish an annual report on
law enforcement use of force incidents, including incidents where there was a
shooting, where a firearm was discharged in the direction of a person (even if there
was no injury), and where other serious bodily harm resulted from the incident. The
bill requires certain demographic information to be collected about each such
incident, and reported annually by DOJ on its website. The bill also makes an initial
appropriation to DOJ of $100,000 to cover data collection costs, and an additional
$100,000 annually that DOJ must use to reimburse local law enforcement agencies
for data collection and reporting costs.
