What is in our bill?

Bill Summary:
Our proposed legislation creates a consistent process for all Kansas prosecuting agencies that maintain Brady-Giglio lists.

Key Points:

• Prosecutors must give officers written notice before adding them to a list.

• Officers have the right to review the evidence and provide a written response.

• A reconsideration process ensures wrongful or premature listings can be corrected.

• Clear timelines and procedures protect both officer rights and prosecutorial responsibilities.

• Standards of proof prevent decisions based solely on unsubstantiated allegations.

Why This Works:
The legislation benefits both law enforcement and prosecutors by reducing legal disputes, increasing efficiency, and ensuring Brady compliance in a fair, transparent manner.
