Bill > SB492

This bill requires law enforcement agencies to share information with other law enforcement agencies about officers who have engaged in criminal conduct or behavior that could lead to disciplinary action, such as losing their license or certification. Specifically, if a hiring agency (a law enforcement agency considering hiring an applicant) discovers information during the hiring process that suggests an applicant has committed a crime or engaged in conduct warranting licensing or certification sanctions, that information must be shared with relevant agencies. These agencies include the licensing or certifying authority, the law enforcement agency where the applicant was employed when the conduct occurred, and the agency where the applicant is currently employed. This provision aims to ensure that agencies are aware of potential misconduct by law enforcement officers, promoting accountability and public safety.
