This bill establishes new guidelines and processes for prosecuting agencies in Minnesota regarding the management of Brady-Giglio lists, which are databases containing the names of peace officers with potentially damaging information in their personnel records. The bill introduces a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, chapter 626, detailing definitions related to Brady-Giglio material, the rights of peace officers, and the responsibilities of prosecuting agencies. Key provisions include the requirement for agencies to adopt policies that outline the criteria for placing an officer on the list, the officer's right to receive notice and provide input before their name is added, and the process for requesting reconsideration of their placement on the list.

Additionally, the bill mandates that prosecuting agencies must notify officers of their rights and the procedures involved in the Brady-Giglio process, including the right to request documents and evidence relevant to their case. It also emphasizes the importance of protecting officers' personnel files and medical records from public disclosure, while allowing for certain disclosures to the officers themselves or their legal counsel. The bill further requires annual meetings between prosecuting agencies and law enforcement chiefs to review Brady-Giglio policies and ensures that the prosecuting agency maintains its independent duty to disclose any information that could affect the credibility of prosecution witnesses, regardless of their status on the Brady-Giglio list.
