What’s in it

AI summary Law enforcement officers who are placed on a special list regarding their credibility will gain new legal rights. If an officer successfully appeals their placement on this list, a court will order the state or their local government to pay for their lawyer and legal costs. These new rules apply to officers even if they were placed on the list in the past.1
