Requires law enforcement to document eyewitnesses' descriptions of perpetrators in their own words before conducting identification procedures, including observation conditions such as lighting, distance, and any impairments

Lineups must include at least five fillers who resemble the eyewitness's description, with only one suspect per procedure and different fillers if multiple lineups are conducted

Restricts show-ups to exigent circumstances with live suspects at neutral locations, and prohibits first-time-in-court identifications unless the prosecutor provides good reason for not conducting prior out-of-court procedures

Requires audio and video recording of all identification procedures, allows both prosecuting and defense attorneys to observe lineups, and mandates documentation of the eyewitness's confidence level at the time of identification
