Monitor Accountability Act

This bill sets new rules for how monitors are appointed and managed. Monitors are independent officials chosen to watch over state or local governments to make sure they follow through on required reforms, like fixing problems with unconstitutional policing. The bill requires that the public be notified and given a chance to comment before a monitor is picked, limits each monitor to one job at a time, sets a five-year time limit on their service, and requires them to publicly report their fees and the work they do. It also puts a cap on how much monitors can be paid and allows the use of free volunteer services.
