Original Seminar Course Length: 1.0 Hours. General
Connecticut’s police reform bill passed and included a host of accountability measures aimed at improving the way police officers do their job and interact with the communities they serve. These measures included a provision that will prevent collective bargaining units, including the state police, from inserting language in their collective bargaining agreements that would override obligations for disclosure of disciplinary records that Connecticut’s Freedom of Information Act would otherwise impose on state agencies. This panel will discuss the origin and intent of this change to Connecticut’s FOIA law and also provide a look ahead to its practical effect for attorneys and the news media.
