What’s in it

AI summary Law enforcement officers who are placed on a special list by prosecutors will gain new legal rights, even if they were added to the list in the past. If an officer successfully appeals their placement on this list, a court will order the state or their local government to pay for their legal fees and costs. This change applies to officers who were listed on or after July 1, 2021.1

Read the official explanation

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. 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.
