Relating to prosecutor access to a police officer's personnel file.

SB 2869 clarifies that prosecutors may access a police officer's personnel file when conducting a criminal investigation of that officer. The bill amends Texas law to explicitly state that a "prosecuting attorney's office conducting a criminal investigation of the officer" is entitled to view the file, which was not previously specified. This change ensures prosecutors have a clear legal basis to obtain personnel records during investigations into alleged criminal conduct by officers. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025.
