Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to the bill expand the membership of the Police Complaints Board and allow the Executive Director of the Office of Police Complaints to start an investigation if they find evidence of police misconduct that wasn't included in the original complaint. This change is significant because it enhances accountability within the police department and ensures that potential abuses of power are addressed, even if not initially reported. Additionally, the amendments clarify that certain legal provisions apply specifically to victims under 18, protecting the rights of minors in the complaint process.
