Summary

The bill amends Penal Code §832.7 to keep most peace‑officer personnel records private, but requires public inspection of records involving serious use‑of‑force incidents, sexual assault, dishonesty, or discrimination. It also adds a court‑review step for undercover officers and ties its effect to the passage of AB 847 and AB 1388. The measure is already enacted.
