Law enforcement: other; individuals filing complaints against law enforcement; allow to remain private. Creates new act.

SB 343, the "Reporting of Law Enforcement Officer Misconduct Privacy Act," protects the privacy of people who file complaints about police misconduct. It requires law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and others handling such complaints to keep the complainant's identity confidential unless the person requests disclosure, gives written permission, or disclosure is required by court order, criminal proceedings, or internal investigations. The law prohibits unauthorized disclosure of identifying information and imposes a $500 civil fine for violations. It directly affects individuals reporting misconduct and all entities receiving or investigating such complaints.
