Bill overview
This bill requires state and local law enforcement agencies to share information about investigations involving injuries or deaths caused by officers or occurring in custody with the Department of Justice. States receiving federal grants must ensure their agencies submit records like videos, photos, and witness statements. Failure to comply results in a 10% reduction in grant funding, with the option to use funds for compliance or a report detailing noncompliance. Additionally, the bill authorizes $10 million for body camera grants.
