A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to permit THE CITY OF FaYETTEVILLE TO DISCLOSE LIMITED PERSONNEL INFORMATION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CITIZEN REVIEW BOARD TO FACILITATE ITS REVIEW OF POLICE DISCIPLINARY CASES.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 160A‑168(c) is amended by adding a new subdivision to read:

"(8)      In order to facilitate citizen review of the police disciplinary process, the city manager or the chief of police, or their designees, may release the disposition of disciplinary charges against a police officer and the facts relied upon in determining that disposition to the Citizen Complaint Review Board, and may release the disposition of the disciplinary charges to the person alleged to have been aggrieved by the officer's actions or to that person's survivor. Board members shall maintain as confidential all personnel information released to them under this subdivision that is not a matter of public record under this section, and any member who violates that confidentiality is guilty of the violations set forth in subsections (e) and (f) of this section. Each member of the Board shall execute and adhere to a confidentiality agreement that is satisfactory to the city. For purposes of this subdivision, the term "disposition of disciplinary charges" includes determinations that the charges are sustained, not sustained, unfounded, exonerated, classified as an information file, or classified as any other disciplinary disposition category subsequently adopted by the city police department."

SECTION 2.  This act applies only to the City of Fayetteville.

SECTION 3.  This act becomes effective March 1, 2013.
