What’s in it

AI summary Lawmakers want to keep certain rules in place regarding how prosecutors manage lists of information about police officers. Under this plan, prosecutors cannot share an officer's personnel files, medical records, or certain statements and complaints with the public. However, these records can still be given to the officer or their lawyer if they ask for them or if a court orders it.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to the rights of peace officers and public safety and emergency personnel, Brady-Giglio list policy, and confidential information.1(24) concerning the policies and procedures to be followed by a prosecuting agency that maintains a Brady-Giglio list shall be repealed on July 1, 2023. The bill removes the repeal provisions in the Code section. The bill provides that a prosecuting agency shall keep confidential and shall not release to the public an officer’s personnel file, medical records, or any statement, recording, transcript, or complaint to the public. This shall not be construed to prohibit the release of records to the officer or the officer’s legal counsel upon the request of the officer or the officer’s legal counsel, or as otherwise provided by law or court order. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
