Criminal Justice (Policing)

SB 366 standardizes reporting requirements for motor vehicle accidents and medical emergencies involving peace officers. It requires police to complete accident reports within five days for incidents causing injury, death, or over $1,000 property damage, and make them available to involved parties within thirty days. For medical emergencies where a person is unstable while under a peace officer's custody or in contact with them, the officer must create a report within five days and provide a copy to the person upon request within five days. This bill directly affects police departments, peace officers, and individuals involved in accidents or medical emergencies.

This bill prohibits landlords from denying rental applications based solely on credit history when the applicant is a victim of domestic violence, as defined by state law. Landlords may charge a capped fee (up to $50 plus annual inflation adjustment) for tenant screening reports but must provide applicants with a copy of the report or instructions to obtain it, along with a receipt. To qualify for the protection, applicants can submit a counselor letter, police report, or valid court order related to domestic violence. Violating this rule requires landlords to reimburse applicants for fees paid and cover attorney costs.
