Giglio letter; require prosecutors to give law enforcement officers an opportunity to be heard before sending.

HB 610 requires Mississippi prosecutors to notify law enforcement officers before sending a "Giglio letter" (a notice to an officer's employer about credibility concerns) or adding an officer to a "Giglio list" (a compiled list of officers deemed unreliable for testimony). The bill mandates that prosecutors provide written notice detailing the issue, allow officers to review evidence and meet with prosecutors, and give officers 30 days to appeal the decision to a circuit court for a full review. This applies to all prosecutors, including district attorneys, county attorneys, and contracted private attorneys. The law aims to create a fairer process for officers facing credibility challenges that could prevent them from testifying in court.
