If enacted, the bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to give two congressional committees all DHS records about serious use-of-force incidents.

DHS would have 30 calendar days after enactment to deliver unredacted videos, reports, communications, training materials, photos, and disciplinary files. If DHS redacts anything, the Secretary would have to provide a written legal justification naming the law relied upon.
