State Rep. Juandalynn Givan, D-Birmingham has filed a bill that would require the Attorney General to establish, maintain, and publish a Police Abuse Registry.

The purpose of the registry would be to publish the names and related information of individuals who have been convicted of offenses against law enforcement officers, according to the bill’s text.

The offenses that would land someone on the registry would involve “the use or threatened use of force against an individual known to be or identified as a law enforcement officer.”

Entries on the registry would include:

• The individual’s full name and any known aliases
• The individual’s date of birth
• Each of the individual’s convictions for a qualifying offense
• The date of the offense leading to each of the individual’s convictions for a qualifying offense
• The date of each of the individual’s convictions for a qualifying offense
• The date of any clemency granted for any qualifying offense
• The individual’s last known address

HB415, otherwise known as the Back the Blue Act, would allow someone on the registry to have their name removed by paying a $5,000 fee to the Law Enforcement Injury Fund, which is to be established in the State Treasury and maintained by the Attorney General, the bill says.

A person would be required to pay $5,000 for each offense they wanted removed from the registry.

The fund would be used “exclusively for financial assistance for law enforcement officers injured in the line of duty or to support rehabilitation or medical costs for law enforcement officers injured in the line of duty,” the bill says.

And the Attorney General would be required each legislative session to submit a report to the legislature detailing the uses of monies from the fund in the previous calendar year, it adds.

Efforts to reach Attorney General Steve Marshall and Givan were not immediately successful.

Last week Givan said she “respect[s] the men and women in blue,” although she does not support another piece of Back the Blue legislation recently approved by the House that rewrites Alabama law on civil and criminal immunity for police officers.

Givan said she did not think police needed another layer of immunity in the court system.
