Requires notification to collective bargaining unit of law enforcement officer prior to release of certain information to the public.
This bill requires the Attorney General or their designee to notify the union representing law enforcement officers before releasing public information about incidents where a person dies during a police encounter or in custody. The information covered includes officer identities, body camera footage, investigation reports, and related details. Currently, such information is subject to public disclosure, but this bill adds a mandatory step of union notification prior to release. The requirement applies immediately and overrides any existing policies on disclosing this information.
