MONTGOMERY:     Law Enforcement Officers BEWARE of SB-158.


SYNOPISIS


All law enforcement agencies would be required to share information about all of their officers.



“This bill would create a Law Enforcement Officer Employment Database for implementation and maintenance by the Alabama Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Commission. This bill would require law enforcement agencies to report certain complaints, disciplinary actions, and background information of law enforcement officers to the Alabama Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Commission. This bill would provide civil penalties for law enforcement agencies that fail to report certain activities of law enforcement officers. This bill would provide that information in the database is confidential and would provide criminal penalties for unauthorized access to the database.


“This bill would also require former employers of law enforcement officers to give full disclosure of an officer’s employment history in the event that another law enforcement agency in this state requests the information and would provide immunity for disclosures made in good faith. This bill would require that prior to employment, law enforcement agencies must complete and submit a full background check on law enforcement officers to the Alabama Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Commission. This bill would require the Alabama Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Commission to collect and maintain data related to the pre-employment check. This bill would outline the requirements for a pre-employment check and who is authorized to obtain the information. This bill would provide criminal penalties for the release or disclosure of any information received from the pre-employment check to any individual not authorized to receive it. This bill would also create civil immunity for any responsible agency that discloses information for the purposes for which it is authorized.” 



The Alabama Senate passed SB158 by a vote of 21 to 8. The bill now goes to the Alabama House of Representatives for their consideration.
