This bill mandates that the disciplinary records of law enforcement officers be classified as government records, thereby ensuring public access to these documents. It defines a "law enforcement officer" broadly to include various types of police and correctional personnel, and specifies that disciplinary records encompass a range of documents such as complaints, allegations, hearing transcripts, and internal affairs records. Certain personal information, including home addresses and medical histories, will be redacted to protect the privacy of individuals involved.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that these disciplinary records must be retained for a minimum of 20 years, while video and audio recordings related to incidents must be kept for at least five years unless they are part of ongoing investigations or civil actions, in which case they must be maintained until the conclusion of those proceedings. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability within law enforcement agencies by making disciplinary records more accessible to the public.
