relative to the use of body-worn cameras.
HB 146 amends New Hampshire law to clarify when law enforcement body-worn camera recordings must be retained. It explicitly adds "violation-level cases" to the list of legal scenarios requiring retention, alongside existing requirements like litigation, criminal cases, or court orders. This change directly affects police departments and law enforcement agencies that use body cameras, ensuring recordings are kept for all relevant legal proceedings. The bill specifies recordings must be retained only as long as legally required, without extending retention periods beyond current standards.
