Bill overview
This bill amends California law regarding the confidentiality of personnel records for peace officers and custodial officers. It expands the types of records that must be made public, including those related to firearm discharges, use of force resulting in serious injury, excessive force complaints, sexual assault allegations, dishonesty, discrimination, unlawful arrests, and unlawful searches. The bill also includes provisions to consider whether a peace officer is operating undercover when determining if disclosure of records is justified, and it incorporates changes from previous bills related to this topic.
