What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, unless a specific exception applies, pupil records maintained in a public school are confidential. The definition of a record includes material on which written, drawn, printed, spoken, visual, or electromagnetic information is recorded or preserved. This bill creates a specific exception to the requirement that pupil records be kept confidential for safety camera footage that is made available to a law enforcement agency if sharing that footage serves a legitimate safety interest.
