Relates to race-blind charging guidelines for prosecution agencies

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Criminal Justice Services to issue guidelines so that police reports and criminal histories are stripped of any information that could reveal race before prosecutors decide whether to charge. Agencies must first conduct a race‑blind evaluation, then a full review with the original documents, and must record any changes in charging decisions. The aim is to reduce unconscious bias in charging decisions.
