FL S0618

Defines "Brady identification system" as any list maintained by a prosecuting agency identifying law enforcement or correctional officers about whom the agency possesses impeachment evidence, and establishes that prosecuting agencies are not required to maintain such a system

Prohibits law enforcement or correctional officers from being discharged, suspended, demoted, or otherwise disciplined solely because a prosecuting agency added their name to a Brady identification system, though discipline based on the underlying conduct that led to inclusion is still permitted

Requires employing agencies to forward all sustained and finalized internal affairs complaints relevant to witness impeachment statutes (ss. 90.608, 90.609, 90.610) to the prosecuting agency in their circuit and to notify the affected officer

Mandates that prosecuting agencies maintaining a Brady identification system adopt written policies ensuring officers receive written notice before or when their name is added and have the right to request reconsideration with supporting documents; if reconsideration is successful, the agency must remove the officer and notify all parties in any pending criminal cases

Allows officers to petition a court for a writ of mandamus if a prosecuting agency fails to comply with the procedural requirements, though judicial review is limited to procedural compliance and may not examine the underlying evidence or merits of inclusion; effective date is July 1, 2023
