This bill aims to eliminate the immunity currently enjoyed by State, county, and municipal prosecutors who fail to disclose exculpatory evidence in criminal cases, thereby holding them accountable for violations of the Brady-Giglio guidelines. The bill defines these guidelines as any directives or policies issued by the Attorney General regarding the disclosure of exculpatory and impeachment evidence, in line with the U.S. Supreme Court decisions in *Brady v. Maryland* and *Giglio v. United States*. It mandates that courts notify the Office of Attorney Ethics if a prosecutor is found to have violated these guidelines, ensuring that such violations are reported within 24 hours.

Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to clarify that prosecutors and their respective public entities will not be immune from liability for failing to disclose exculpatory evidence. This includes changes to the Tort Claims Act and the Civil Rights Act, which previously provided qualified and absolute immunity to prosecutors under certain conditions. The bill stipulates that actions can be brought against prosecutors in Superior Court, and it allows for the awarding of reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party in such cases. Overall, the legislation seeks to enhance accountability and uphold the rights of defendants in criminal proceedings.
