AI Summary

This bill amends the statutes to require law enforcement agencies to make their policies regulating the use of force by officers publicly available on a website maintained by the agency or the municipality it has jurisdiction over. The existing law required agencies to prepare such policies in writing, but did not explicitly mandate public access to them. The amendment is intended to increase transparency and public access to these important policies.
