HI HB1849

Requires county police department chiefs to disclose the identity of police officers to the legislature upon the officer's suspension or discharge.

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 52D-3.5 to add police officer identity disclosure as a required element in annual misconduct reports when suspension or discharge occurs.

Extends the disclosure timeline for county police officers from 30 calendar days to 90 calendar days after a written decision sustaining suspension or discharge is issued.

Takes effect January 1, 2050.
