The bill introduces two new sections, 12-17-184.1 and 12-17-184.2, to the Code of Alabama 1975, which clarify the role of prosecuting attorneys in relation to law enforcement. It establishes that when a prosecuting attorney provides legal advice to law enforcement officers or agencies on matters such as criminal and civil procedures, criminal charges, or investigations, this activity is considered a prosecutorial function. The bill emphasizes the importance of open communication between prosecuting attorneys and law enforcement as essential for the fair application of criminal laws.

Additionally, the bill outlines legislative findings that support the need for prosecuting attorneys to advise law enforcement upon request, asserting that such discussions are vital to the investigatory and charging processes. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
