Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This bill requires that peace officers cooperate with investigations by the Peace Officers Standards and Training Council. It also requires that employers provide employment related information (i.e., written information in an employer's records or personnel files relating to the behavior or performance of the applicant, candidate or peace officer) to another law enforcement agency when they are conducting an investigation to hire, certify or renew the certification of a peace officer. The information that the employer is required to disclose includes performance evaluations, disciplinary actions and eligibility for rehire. The law enforcement agency seeking the employment related information must include a copy of a signed and notarized statement from the applicant, candidate or peace officer releasing and holding the employer harmless for disclosing complete and accurate information to the law enforcement agency.
