What’s in it

This bill relates to the review of an officer-involved shooting case by a county attorney. The bill provides that in the case of an officer-involved shooting resulting in the death or serious bodily injury of a person, the county attorney shall review the evidence and render a written opinion and charging decision, convene a grand jury, or refer the case to the attorney general for independent review and a charging decision. The results of the review shall promptly be provided to the officer involved or the officer’s legal counsel and the officer’s employing agency. If the case presents a conflict of interest, the review shall be referred to an independent county attorney, the attorney general, or a special prosecutor.
