What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires each law enforcement agency to prepare a policy

regarding the use of force by its law enforcement officers and to make the policy

available for public scrutiny. This bill requires the law enforcement agency to post

its policy on the law enforcement agency website or, if the agency does not have one,

on a site maintained by the municipality over which the law enforcement agency has

jurisdiction.
