SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Law-enforcement civilian oversight bodies; requirements. Requires every member appointed to a locality's law-enforcement civilian oversight body to observe within 90 days of the member's appointment a law-enforcement officer employed with such locality's law-enforcement agency while such law-enforcement officer is engaged in his official duties and that such observation total no fewer than 24 hours, a portion of which includes a ride-along with a law-enforcement officer. The bill also provides that any disciplinary determination recommended by a law-enforcement civilian oversight body shall be advisory and that if any law-enforcement agency declines to implement such recommendation, such agency shall create and make available to the public within 30 days from the date such recommendation is reported to such agency a written public record of its rationale for declining to implement such recommendation. Finally, the bill requires each law-enforcement civilian oversight body to include at least one retired law-enforcement officer as a voting member; under current law, a retired law-enforcement officer may serve on such body as an advisory, nonvoting ex officio member.
