Lawmakers eye repeal of law officers Bill of Rights Search By Darryl Kinsey, Jr. BOWIE, Md. (Feb. 10, 2021) A proposed law in the Maryland House of Delegates could roll back certain protections for law enforcement officers. HB0151, sponsored by Del. Gabriel Acevero, D-Montgomery, would fully repeal Maryland s Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights. The law, which provides certain protections for officers under investigation for wrongdoing, has been heavily criticized for frustrating police-reform efforts. Recommendations for repeal came as a result of recommendations from a Workgroup on Police Reform and Accountability in Maryland that was convened in June. Acevero told Capital News Service that a repeal of the Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights would allow for greater civilian oversight of police departments.
