Bill > HB120

This bill, known as Anton's Law, establishes that records related to administrative or criminal investigations of misconduct by a law enforcement officer are not considered personnel records under the Public Information Act. It authorizes custodians to deny public inspection of these records, which include internal affairs investigations, hearing records, and disciplinary decisions. The bill also defines "law enforcement officer" using the definition from the Public Safety Article. Additionally, the bill applies prospectively to Public Information Act requests made on or after the effective date of October 1, 2021.
