What’s in it
AI summary New rules would keep most investigation records about police officers private unless a judge or court says otherwise. If an investigation shows a crime was committed, the academy must report that information to the right law enforcement agency. However, the final decisions and settlement agreements made by the council will be available for the public to see.1

This bill relates to the revocation or suspension of the certification of a law enforcement officer. The bill provides that all investigatory materials, including any recommendation, notification, or other record or information provided by an employing agency or the attorney general shall be confidential except as required by rule or order of the council, an administrative law judge, or a reviewing court. If the investigative information in the possession of the academy indicates a crime has been committed, the information shall be reported to the proper law enforcement agency. The bill provides that a final written decision and finding of fact of the council in a disciplinary proceeding or an informal stipulation and settlement agreement are public records.
