California AB847 modifies confidentiality rules for peace officer records.

California AB847 amends the Government Code to allow sheriff oversight boards to maintain confidentiality of peace officer records. It also allows for the release of certain records under specific conditions, such as when the officer makes a false public statement. The bill defines "sexual assault" and limits the disclosure of records relating to such incidents. It also allows for the redaction of personal data from records, except for names and work-related information of officers.
