Summary

The bill requires state and local agencies to disclose any audio, video, transcript, or written communication that reports an incident at a private detention facility, with limited exemptions for active investigations. It also amends record‑request timelines, defines “unusual circumstances,” and adds rules for affordable‑housing regulatory agreements, Los Angeles documentary transfer taxes, and conditional tax‑code provisions. The changes aim to increase transparency around private detention facilities while adjusting related housing and tax regulations.
