The bill proposes significant amendments to the "Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights," renaming it the "LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS’ DUE PROCESS, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND TRANSPARENCY ACT." It revises the composition and selection process of the hearing committee, expanding it to five members and ensuring diversity and fairness in its makeup. The bill also modifies the interrogation and investigation procedures for law enforcement officers, detailing the rights of the accused, such as being informed of complaints and complainants, and the right to counsel. It introduces a new definition for a "qualified officer," sets criteria for their qualification, and outlines the responsibilities for legal fee payments. Additionally, the bill updates the language to be gender-neutral and extends the right of officers to make public statements, while also setting a three-year limit for instituting disciplinary action, with exceptions for potential criminal offenses.

The bill further amends the procedures for disciplinary hearings, eliminating certain previous provisions and introducing a new process for the selection of hearing committee members. It mandates written decisions on hearings, requires the creation of an administrative record, and specifies the reporting of disciplinary actions to national indices. The bill also outlines the conditions for suspensions of officers under criminal and noncriminal investigations, detailing the rights to pay, benefits, and reinstatement. It states that the remedies provided are exclusive and that collective bargaining agreements cannot contravene these provisions. Additionally, the bill establishes a certified officers pool for hearing committee appointments, mandates training in police discipline, and requires annual comprehensive reports of all hearings. The act is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2025.
