Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation requires law enforcement agencies that conduct live lineups, photo lineups or show ups to adopt written procedures to determine whether a witness identifies someone as a perpetrator of an alleged crime. The procedures are subject to the open records law. This legislation was amended in in the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee to include HB 430 which is the revision of Georgia's search and seizure law.  This legislation should have no significant fiscal impact on counties, but will require the adoption of policies and procedures for law enforcement.
