Peace officers testifying in criminal trials would be required, under this bill, to first give prosecutors a signed, detailed disclosure covering their employment and disciplinary history, criminal record, past court findings questioning their credibility, any misconduct such as falsifying reports or withholding evidence, substance abuse or impairment concerns, statements suggesting bias, and any personal relationships or incentives connected to the specific case at hand. Prosecutors would then be required to pass this disclosure on to the defense as soon as practicable. If an officer has already submitted a disclosure to a prosecutor within the past 12 months, the officer could testify in a new case by providing that prior disclosure along with any case-specific updates and confirmation that the rest of the information remains accurate, rather than starting the disclosure process over from scratch. Officers would also be required to acknowledge, under penalty of perjury, an ongoing duty to update their disclosures if the information changes.
