Substitute Senate Bill No. 1093 Summary

• Authorizes towns to establish civilian police review boards with subpoena power and authority to require production of documents, subject to Superior Court review of objections and a stay requirement if the Office of the Inspector General requests one.

• Requires police officers to review body-worn and dashboard camera recordings within 48 hours in formal use-of-force statements or disciplinary investigations, with public disclosure required within 96 hours unless the officer reviews it sooner; applies same timeline for public disclosure requests when no formal statement or investigation has been initiated.

• Restricts police searches without warrants to situations where officers have reasonable and articulable suspicion of weapons or contraband, requires written documentation of the justification, and prohibits no-knock warrants; requires officers to announce identity and purpose and provide copies of search warrants to persons searched.

• Adds several offenses to those ineligible for automatic criminal record erasure, including specific Class D felonies and Class A misdemeanors, and requires state's attorneys to inform victims about automatic erasure eligibility before accepting plea agreements.

• Creates new crime of "enticing a juvenile to commit a criminal act" for individuals 23 or older who cause, encourage, or coerce anyone under 18 to commit a crime, punishable as a Class A misdemeanor for first offense and Class D felony for subsequent offenses.
