The Office of Public Integrity and Accountability will then supervise the investigation to ensure objectivity. The Attorney General may also take over investigations if they believe it serves the state's interests. The bill defines "law enforcement officer" and "Office of Public Integrity and Accountability." It will take effect four months after enactment.
