The bill establishes the Office of State Police Affairs (OSPA) as an independent entity within the Department of Treasury, tasked with overseeing the conduct of law enforcement officers employed by the Division of State Police. The director of OSPA, appointed by the Governor with Senate approval, will have a five-year term and will supervise the Superintendent of State Police, who must report to the director regularly. The director is empowered to investigate allegations of criminal complaints or misconduct against law enforcement officers, conduct evaluations, and initiate independent investigations. The bill also prohibits law enforcement officers under investigation from using privilege or work-product protection to withhold information from the director.

Additionally, OSPA will review internal affairs investigations and equal employment opportunity complaints within the Division of State Police to ensure compliance with standard operating procedures and appropriate disciplinary actions. The director will oversee the appointment, employment, promotion, and removal of law enforcement officers, conduct exit interviews, and prepare annual reports with recommendations for recruitment and hiring practices. The bill grants the director the authority to compel testimony and documents through subpoenas and mandates that all criminal complaints against law enforcement officers be managed and prosecuted by OSPA. The director is also required to maintain records of investigations and collaborate with other state oversight entities to enhance accountability and transparency in law enforcement practices.
