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 be provided to the officer involved or the officer’s legal counsel and the officer’s employing agency within 180 days. 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.
