A budget compromise reached Tuesday gives the state agency newly empowered to decertify police officers for misconduct more time before it must disclose all records related to those proceedings, including those produced by local law enforcement agencies.The deal between state lawmakers and the governor’s office ended a budget dispute over access to police records that civil rights, social justice and free press groups argued was a key transparency provision of a landmark 2021 law allowing the state to decertify rogue officers for misconduct.It was among several consequential deals — including one that streamlines the state’s environmental quality law — hashed out in recent days as the Democrat-controlled legislature and Democratic Gov.
