'Laurie List' bill passes legislature, governor says he will sign
After years of court battles, a secret list containing the names of more than 270 law enforcement officers with credibility issues is one step closer to public release.
The State Senate previously passed the measure on a unanimous vote. Asked by reporters Thursday if he would sign the bill, Gov. Chris Sununu said he still needs to review the final language of the bill, but a spokesperson then clarified to NHPR that the governor has reviewed the language and supports the bill.
The Attorney General’s office manages the Exculpatory Evidence Schedule, better known as the ‘Laurie List.’ It contains the names of New Hampshire police officers whose credibility may be called into question during a trial because of past behavior logged in their personnel records.
