Overview
This bill makes records of disciplinary actions against law enforcement officers public records, similar to other government documents. It requires these records, including complaints, transcripts, and internal affairs investigations, to be retained for at least 20 years, with exceptions for body-worn camera footage. The bill also outlines specific information that must be redacted to protect the privacy of officers, complainants, and witnesses, and specifies retention periods for video and audio recordings depending on whether they are part of an investigation or legal action.
