What’s in it
AI summary Law enforcement agencies would be required to keep certain information private, such as an officer's personnel files, medical records, and official statements. While these records cannot be released to the public, they can still be shared with the officer or their lawyer if they ask for them. This change also ensures that current rules for managing lists of officer misconduct remain in place.1
