Summary

The bill amends the Penal Code to declare settlement agreements that hide misconduct records as contrary to public policy and to open specific use‑of‑force and sexual‑assault records to public inspection. It also expands reporting duties to the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, obligating agencies to submit detailed information about officer employment, complaints, investigations, findings, and civil judgments. The changes aim to increase transparency and accountability for peace officers in California.
