Summary

Committee members on Oct. 25 discussed posting redacted charging opinions online to increase transparency, with members noting legal and IT clearance will be required before publication.

An ACC member proposed publishing redacted charging opinions on the committees website to give the public more context about its decisions. The member said redacted opinions would not contain information beyond what an outsider could obtain via a public records request but would allow the ACC to "get ahead" of outside reporting.

Committee members voiced support but noted the need to clear records with legal counsel and IT. Kristopher Nasseri said any posting "would have to be cleared with legal first." Members discussed starting with charged cases and possibly publishing historical opinions as well, but did not set a timeline or approve a formal policy during the meeting.

No formal vote was recorded on publication at this meeting; members agreed to explore the option and consult legal and IT staff.
