What’s in it

AI summary Prosecutors who keep lists of certain information about police officers would follow new rules about keeping records private. These rules prevent the public from seeing an officer's personnel files, medical records, or statements, though the officer and their lawyer can still access them. This change extends the current laws that govern these lists for another year.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to a Brady-Giglio list maintained by a prosecuting agency. Current law in Code chapter 80F (peace officer, public safety, and emergency personnel bill of rights) describes procedural requirements that a prosecuting agency that maintains a Brady-Giglio list must comply with and provides a definition of “Brady-Giglio list”. These requirements and definition were set by the general assembly to be repealed on July 1, 2023. The bill extends the future repeal provisions to July 1, 2024. The bill provides that a prosecuting agency shall keep confidential and not release to the public an officer’s personnel file, medical records, or any statement, recording, transcript, or complaint. The bill does not prohibit the release of records to the officer or the officer’s legal counsel, or as otherwise provided by law or court order. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
