Bill > S3216

Introduced Session

This bill, entitled the "Transparency in Federal Enforcement Activities Act," establishes identification requirements for law enforcement officers under certain circumstances. Under the bill, a federal law enforcement operation cannot be conducted in this State or in cooperation with any State or local law enforcement agency unless all participating personnel: (1) display clearly visible identification that includes the person's name and agency of employment; and (2) verbally state their name and agency of employment upon the request of any person being questioned, detained, or arrested. The bill prohibits State or local law enforcement officers from assisting or participating in any law enforcement operation if federal agents do not comply with the bill's identification requirements. Any State or law enforcement officer who violates the bill's provisions is subject to administrative disciplinary action. In addition, the bill creates a private right of action for declaratory and injunctive relief for any person who is questioned, detained, or arrested in violation of the bill's provisions. The bill states that its provisions are not to be construed as interfering with lawful federal action and apply when State and local law enforcement agencies provide support for a federal law enforcement operation or cooperate with, or act jointly with, federal agents in this State. Under the bill, the Attorney General is to establish guidelines necessary to effectuate the bill's provisions.
