This bill, the Cost of Police Misconduct Act of 2023, requires federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to report information related to allegations of misconduct by law enforcement officers to the Attorney General. The bill defines key terms like "allegation of misconduct" and "misconduct," and outlines the reporting requirements for federal, state, and local agencies. It also includes provisions for the Attorney General to identify federal law enforcement agencies, create a public database of the reported information, and submit reports to Congress on the data collected. The bill also authorizes the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study on the data and the Attorney General's data collection practices. Additionally, the bill includes penalties for non-compliance by state and local agencies in the form of reductions in federal funding.
