Bill > HB610

This bill requires prosecuting attorneys, before sending a "Giglio letter" or adding an officer's name to a "Giglio list," to provide written notice to the law enforcement officer involved. A "Giglio letter" or "Giglio notification" is a communication to an officer's employer stating that the officer may not be credible to testify in court due to issues like untruthfulness or illegal conduct. A "Giglio list," also known as a "Brady-Giglio list" or "Do Not Call list," is a compilation of officers whose credibility is in question and who may not be called to testify. The bill mandates that this notice must inform the officer about the potential Giglio letter or list inclusion, detail the reasons behind the prosecutor's decision, and inform the officer of their right to review relevant evidence, provide input, and meet with the prosecutor, potentially with legal counsel, to present their defense. If the prosecutor still decides to issue a Giglio letter or add the officer to the list after this process, the officer has the right to appeal that decision to the circuit court in their county of residence for a new review of the case.
