AI Summary

  • Officers cannot be discharged, disciplined, or have their certification revoked solely because a prosecuting agency placed them on a Brady-Giglio list or disclosed their status on such a list; discipline remains permitted for the underlying misconduct itself

  • Prosecuting agencies maintaining Brady-Giglio lists must adopt policies including written notice to officers before placement, explanation of rationale, right to provide input, and a reconsideration process with 10 business days to respond

  • Officers may file petitions in district court for judicial review of denied reconsideration requests, with the court authorized to order removal from a Brady-Giglio list if no reasonable basis exists for the placement

  • Public safety agencies cannot release officers' official photographs without written permission or a public records request, and must redact personal information (home address, phone, email, DOB, SSN, license number) from any public records

  • Impersonating a peace officer is upgraded from a Class I misdemeanor to a Class IV felony, and is added to the list of "dangerous misdemeanors" where carrying a firearm or destructive device triggers additional penalties

Legislative Description

Provide requirements relating to Brady-Giglio lists, protections for certain officers, and duties for prosecuting agencies and public safety agencies, and change the penalty for impersonating a peace officer
