Public records; footage from law enforcement body-worn cameras or dashboard cameras, designated as public record

Summary

The bill reclassifies recordings from law‑enforcement body‑worn and dashboard cameras as public records, allowing anyone to request them. Requests must be written, identify the recording, and agencies must release the relevant portion within 30 days, charging only the actual cost. A denied request can be appealed in circuit court, and agencies may refuse release only if it would substantially interfere with an active investigation or prosecution.
