Senate Bill 25 proposes amendments to the statutes regarding the issuance of criminal complaints in cases of officer-involved deaths. The bill establishes that if a district attorney determines there is no basis to prosecute a law enforcement officer involved in such a death, a court may not issue a complaint against the officer unless new or unused evidence is presented. This change aims to limit the circumstances under which complaints can be filed against officers in these specific cases, reinforcing the district attorney's discretion in the initial determination.

The bill includes specific legal language changes, renumbering existing statutes and creating new subsections. Notably, it renumbers sections 968.02 (3) and 968.26 (2) (d), while adding new provisions that explicitly state the conditions under which a complaint may be filed against an officer involved in a death, contingent upon the presentation of new or unused evidence. The initial applicability of this act is set to take effect based on determinations made by district attorneys on the effective date of the legislation.
