SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Law-Enforcement Officers' Procedural Guarantees. Provides that upon the filing of a complaint or charges against a law-enforcement officer or whenever an internal investigation focuses on matters which are likely to result in a criminal, punitive, disciplinary or civil action against the law-enforcement officer, he shall have the right to be represented by legal counsel or any other representative he chooses. Such representative shall be present and available for consultation at all times prior to and during any questioning, unless such right is waived by the law-enforcement officer. Time, not to exceed three days, shall be afforded to the law-enforcement officer under investigation to obtain representation. For good cause shown, the chief officer may, within such three-day period, extend that period of time.
