What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires each law enforcement agency to have 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 the
municipality's site. Under the bill, if the policy is changed, the law enforcement
agency must post the updated policy as soon as practically possible but no later than
one year after the change is made. The bill also requires a law enforcement agency
to prominently post a means to request a copy of the policy and to provide a copy of
the current policy at no charge no later than three business days after a request is
made.
