Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

MPD arrest reports add officer details

MPD must list each officer’s name, badge or ID number, and agency in arrest paperwork and any probable cause affidavit. The report must say if force was used and describe it. It must state how many officers were unidentified and if anyone refused to give their identity. MPD includes only what is known at the time. These rules do not bind non‑MPD officers and do not create a right to sue. A failure to include this information cannot be used as evidence in any criminal or civil case.

Temporary law with 225-day sunset

The law takes effect after the Mayor approves it or the Council overrides a veto, and after a 30-day congressional review. It expires 225 days after it takes effect.
