The proposed bill, titled the "Reporting of Law Enforcement Officer Misconduct Privacy Act," aims to enhance the privacy protections for individuals who report misconduct by law enforcement officers. It establishes that if a complainant requests confidentiality, their identity must not be disclosed by any person involved in the misconduct complaint process. The bill defines key terms such as "law enforcement agency," "law enforcement officer," "misconduct," and "person," clarifying the scope of the law and the entities involved.

Exceptions to the confidentiality requirement are outlined, allowing for disclosure of the complainant's identity under specific circumstances, such as with the individual's consent, through a court order, or to relevant parties in legal proceedings. Violations of this act would result in civil infractions, with fines up to $500. The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting whistleblowers in law enforcement to encourage reporting of misconduct without fear of retaliation.
