Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Technical Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This resolution declares an emergency to temporarily extend two previous policing reforms until permanent laws take effect or are finalized. The measures expand the Police Complaints Board membership and allow the office's executive director to file new complaints based on discovered misconduct, such as excessive force or failure to intervene. Additionally, the bill clarifies that certain victim reporting requirements apply only to minors under 18. These actions prevent a legal gap in oversight while awaiting the finalization of related legislation.
