What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires each law enforcement agency to have a publicly available

policy regulating the use of force by law enforcement officers. This bill requires each

such policy to provide the instances in which a use of force must be reported, how to

report a use of force, and a requirement that officers who engage in or observe a

reportable use of force must report it. This bill also prohibits disciplining a law

enforcement officer for reporting a violation of an agency's policy or standard

regarding the use of force.
