AI Summary

  • P.O.S.T. Board must create and maintain a publicly searchable database on its website containing peace officer conduct records including untruthfulness, certification revocations, terminations for cause, resignations under investigation, and criminal charges that could affect certification

  • Law enforcement agencies must report required conduct information to P.O.S.T. Board, with knowing or willful failure to submit accurate information subject to fines and referral to district attorneys for criminal investigation

  • Peace officers reported to the database for resignation/retirement under investigation are entitled to a show cause hearing with the P.O.S.T. Board director, and a formal appeal process must be established for officers to challenge their inclusion

  • P.O.S.T. Board gains discretionary authority (rather than mandatory) to revoke or suspend certification when officers are found civilly liable for excessive or unconstitutional force, replacing the previous mandatory discipline for "unlawful" force findings

  • Employers are prohibited from agreeing to settlements with peace officers that include not reporting required conduct information to the database, and agencies that fail to provide required hiring disclosures within deadlines face loss of P.O.S.T. Board funding for one year or fines
