SACRAMENTO — Public access to police disciplinary and use-of-force cases in California would be greatly expanded under legislation released Monday, including records about racist and discriminatory acts by officers.

Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, announced the effort to reform and broaden Senate Bill 1421, the landmark police accountability law she sponsored in 2018. That law requires police to release to the public records about officer shootings and other uses of force, as well as officers’ sexual misconduct and dishonesty.
