What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates requirements for law enforcement agencies that use body

cameras on law enforcement officers, including requirements for agency policies and

training and for the retention and confidentiality of data recorded by the body

cameras.

The bill also provides that if a public authority has custody of data from a body

camera used by a law enforcement agency, that authority is not considered to be the

custodian of that data. For purposes of requests for access to such data, the bill

provides that the law enforcement agency is considered to be the custodian of that

data and the bill directs any other authority that has custody of any such data to deny

access to that data.
