What it does
This bill relates to police officer disciplinary actions. The bill amends Code chapter 80F, relating to the rights of officers and public safety and emergency personnel. The bill prohibits an officer from being discharged, disciplined, or threatened with discharge or discipline by a state, county, or municipal law enforcement agency solely due to the inclusion of the officer’s name on a Brady list. The bill defines “Brady list” as a list of officers maintained by the county attorney’s office, including officers who may have impeached themselves as witnesses and officers who may have violated the pretrial discovery rule requiring officers to turn over any evidence that might be used to exonerate a defendant.
