What changed in the latest version
5 added · 4 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Senate Bill 1301, the focus has shifted entirely to setting a one-year time limit for investigations into law enforcement misconduct that were started before September 24, 2022. This means that if these investigations are not completed within that year, they will be dismissed. Importantly, the bill has removed provisions that would have allowed previous laws to apply retroactively to cases dating back to 2007. This change is significant because it aims to expedite the resolution of ongoing misconduct cases while limiting the scope of older investigations.
House Engrossed Senate BillEngrossed law enforcement investigations;
Investigations that are suspended during a criminal investigation or prosecution pursuant to section 38-1110, subsection D, paragraphsparagraph 1, 2 and 3, Arizona Revised Statutes.
