Bill > SB66

This bill repeals and enacts new sections related to public safety and unlawful assemblies. The key provisions include: 1. Allowing the chief law enforcement officer to seek injunctive relief if the governing body decreases the law enforcement agency's budget by more than 12% over a 5-year aggregate period compared to other departments. 2. Expanding the crimes for which probation, suspended sentences, or conditional release are not eligible, such as certain dangerous felonies where the victim is a law enforcement officer. 3. Defining "unlawful assembly" and creating the offense of "unlawful traffic interference" for blocking vehicle traffic, with enhanced penalties if done as part of an unlawful assembly. 4. Modifying the offense of "rioting" to include property damage over $750 as a class E felony. 5. Expanding the offense of "institutional vandalism" to include damage to public monuments and structures. 6. Establishing procedural protections and due process rights for law enforcement officers under investigation or facing disciplinary action, including time limits, notice requirements, and hearing procedures. 7. Allowing law enforcement officers to seek judicial enforcement of these new provisions and imposing civil penalties for violations.
