Requires access to law enforcement disciplinary records as government records; requires such records to be retained for certain period of time.

New Jersey's Bill A 1673 requires all law enforcement disciplinary records - including complaints, hearing transcripts, dispositions, and bodycam footage - to be treated as public government records, making them accessible to the public. It directly affects all New Jersey law enforcement officers (including police, correction officers, school safety officers, and probation officers) by mandating transparency in disciplinary actions. The bill specifies redactions for sensitive personal information (like home addresses and medical history) while requiring these records to be retained for at least 20 years, with bodycam footage kept longer if tied to ongoing criminal or civil cases. This policy change aims to increase accountability without compromising privacy for involved individuals.
