Bill > SB391

This bill requires the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission to conduct an annual review of a report published by the Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Office of the Attorney General. Specifically, the Commission must examine the IID's report, which is likely related to police investigations or misconduct, and then develop and propose recommendations based on their findings. The bill mandates this review process as an ongoing annual responsibility for the Commission, with the aim of potentially improving police training, standards, or oversight. The new requirement will take effect on October 1, 2025, giving the Commission time to prepare for this new annual review process. By requiring the Commission to systematically review and respond to the IID's report, the legislation seeks to create a more responsive and accountable system for monitoring and potentially enhancing law enforcement practices in Maryland.
