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 a prohibition against disclosing the identity of individuals who file such complaints, unless specific exceptions apply. These exceptions include situations where the complainant consents to the disclosure, a court order mandates it, or it is necessary for legal proceedings involving the misconduct complaint.

Additionally, the bill outlines the definitions of key terms such as "law enforcement agency," "law enforcement officer," and "misconduct." It specifies that any person who knowingly discloses the identity of a complainant in violation of this act may face civil penalties, including fines of up to $500. The legislation emphasizes the importance of confidentiality in the reporting process to encourage individuals to come forward without fear of retaliation or exposure.
