What’s in it

This bill relates to Brady-Giglio list appeals and law enforcement officers’ rights. The bill provides that an officer placed on a Brady-Giglio list by a prosecuting agency, regardless of when such placement, action, or decision occurred, shall have the rights afforded under the bill. The bill provides that if an officer, after appealing a decision placing the officer on a Brady-Giglio list, prevails, the court shall award the officer equitable relief, reasonable attorney fees, expenses, and court costs.

Read the full explanation

Any such award shall be paid by the state or the municipality or county that employs or is responsible for the prosecuting agency. The bill takes effect upon enactment. The bill applies retroactively to the placement of an officer on a Brady-Giglio list and subsequent proceedings and orders occurring on and after July 1, 2021.
