Disclosure of personnel data on peace officers and other potential government witnesses to a prosecuting authority required to comply with the authority's constitutional disclosure obligations, Brady-Giglio designation for peace officers provided, task force to examine lists established, and report required.
This bill requires Minnesota law enforcement agencies to disclose personnel data about peace officers (like police and deputies) to prosecutors when those officers might testify in criminal cases. It mandates that prosecutors receive this data without needing a court order to comply with constitutional disclosure rules (Brady-Giglio), while also requiring protective orders to safeguard privacy when sharing with defendants. Additionally, it creates a new requirement for law enforcement agencies to submit real-time, encrypted data on officer misconduct investigations to a state board, helping identify behavioral patterns and evaluate training. The law directly affects peace officers, prosecutors, law enforcement agencies, and the Public Safety Advisory Council that uses the data.
