Title
AN ACT CONCERNING TRANSPARENCY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY for the purpose of delineating the current practices and understandings utilized to implement Section 2-537 and to ensure a consistent interpretation and clarifying that the law applies to both on-duty and off-duty conduct, aligning with the law enforcement general order.
Background
The proposed legislation clarifies that the scope of the law applies to both on and off-duty conduct, aligning with law enforcement general orders as long as the conduct is reasonably foreseeable within the scope of employment. Moreover, the legislation simplifies the original intent by focusing on civilian involvement rather than just civilian complaints.
