An Act to improve transparency in alleged police misconduct
This bill amends procedures for inquests (investigative hearings) into deaths or serious injuries involving law enforcement officers. It requires the attorney general or district attorney to hold an inquest when there's reasonable suspicion an officer violated laws while acting in their duties, causing serious bodily injury (defined under Chapter 265). The bill mandates timely notice to families and specific agencies, allows targets of investigations to attend with counsel, and ensures families and complainants can observe the process. It focuses on procedural transparency during investigations, not on changing police conduct standards or accountability outcomes.
