The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6853, aims to enhance the standardized method of recording traffic stop information by requiring the inclusion of specific data points. The bill repeals the previous deadline for implementation and mandates that the Office of Policy and Management, in collaboration with relevant advisory boards, develop a standardized method for police officers to record traffic stop information. This method will now include details such as the date and time of the stop, the location, the officer's identification, the demographics of the stopped individual, the nature of the violation, and the outcome of the stop. Notably, it introduces a requirement to record whether the officer was alerted to the violation by automated means, such as radar or automated number plate recognition systems.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of informing individuals who are stopped about their rights to file complaints if they believe they were stopped based on discriminatory factors. It also outlines the process for reporting such complaints and mandates that data be reported to the Office of Policy and Management. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and aims to improve transparency and accountability in traffic stops conducted by law enforcement.
