Summary

The Bridal Justice and Public Safety Committee agreed LD 1671 needs more stakeholder work and voted 'ought not to pass' while instructing interested parties, including criminal-defense attorneys and courts, to continue discussions and return with recommendations.

Committee members agreed LD 1671 — which concerns disclosure requirements regarding law-enforcement officer credibility information — requires further deliberation and stakeholder work. Several lawmakers said the subject is complex and recommended a broad stakeholder process.

Chair and members proposed attaching a letter directing interested parties to continue discussions and ask that criminal-defense attorneys and court representatives be included; Representative Perkins amended his motion to add such a letter and the committee accepted the change. The clerk recorded 11 in favor of an 'ought not to pass' motion and two absent.

What happens next: the committee will send a letter asking parties to continue negotiations and include defense attorneys and courts as appropriate; LD 1671 will not be advanced at this time.
