Bill > SB461

This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for managing Brady-Giglio lists, which are records maintained by prosecuting agencies about law enforcement officers whose credibility may be in question due to issues like untruthfulness or criminal convictions. The bill defines key terms, including who qualifies as an "officer" and a "prosecuting individual," and mandates that prosecuting agencies create clear policies for creating and maintaining these lists. The legislation requires prosecuting agencies to provide written notice to an officer's employer before placing the officer on the list, and gives officers the right to receive notification, review evidence, and request reconsideration of their placement. Officers have 30 days to submit a request for reconsideration after being notified, and if approved, they will be removed from the list. The bill also applies retroactively to officers already on Brady-Giglio lists, requiring prosecuting agencies to notify those individuals within 90 days of the act's effective date. Importantly, the legislation explicitly states that it does not create a private right to sue prosecuting agencies over list inclusions and does not limit the ongoing constitutional and procedural requirements for disclosing potentially exculpatory evidence. The act is set to become effective on November 1, 2025.
