Law enforcement: other; individuals filing complaints against law enforcement; allow to remain private. Creates new act.

This bill establishes the Reporting of Law Enforcement Officer Misconduct Privacy Act to protect the identities of individuals who file complaints against police officers for unauthorized, unlawful, or negligent actions. It mandates that agencies and other entities receiving these complaints must not reveal the complainant's name unless the individual explicitly consents, a court orders it, or specific legal exceptions apply, such as when criminal charges are filed. The law also sets a civil fine of up to $500 for anyone who knowingly violates these privacy protections.
