2002 Information

The IACP prepares an annual State Legislative Report in order to provide members with a review of the major law enforcement-related legislative initiatives that were considered, or are currently under consideration, in each state. Although the IACP staff tracks all law enforcement-related legislation, this document provides information on only those legislative initiatives that were enacted or were the subject of significant legislative activity.

The summaries of 50 state legislative sessions are available in PDF format. You can view the entire document (in PDF) or by individual state.
