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.
