§2. Reporting requirement
This section establishes definitions for terms related to law enforcement misconduct, including "allegation of misconduct," "judgment," "law enforcement agency," "misconduct," and "settlement."
It directs the Attorney General to identify the total number and names of all federal law enforcement agencies within 90 days of enactment and annually thereafter, and to publish that information on the Department of Justice website within 120 days of enactment and annually thereafter.
It further requires each identified federal law enforcement agency, beginning 120 days after enactment, to annually collect data for the preceding year on judgments and settlements related to misconduct allegations by its officers—including the total number; for each, officer and civilian demographics (race, ethnicity, sex, age), years of misconduct and allegation, allegation type (e.g., body camera violation, use of force, racial profiling, wrongful death), personnel actions (e.g., termination, resignation), payment amounts and sources (e.g., Judgment Fund under 31 U.S.C. 1304), and injunctive relief—and the agency's aggregate payments (Judgment Fund appropriations under 31 U.S.C. 1304 pay certain final judgments, awards, and settlements against the United States when not otherwise provided).
Such agencies must report the data to the Attorney General within 60 days after each year-end pursuant to Attorney General guidelines, with possible 60-day extensions for good-faith efforts.
