Police body-worn camera footage of state legislators and executive branch officials classified as public.
This bill classifies police body-worn camera footage of state legislators and certain executive branch officials as public records, requiring law enforcement agencies to make this footage available to the general public. It also mandates that when a person dies as a result of police use of force, their family members must be granted access to relevant video footage within five days, unless an active investigation prevents immediate release. Additionally, the law allows courts to order the release of private or nonpublic footage if the public interest in disclosure outweighs potential harm, while permitting redactions only for content that is clearly offensive to common sensibilities.
