BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE-DISCLOSURE

Summary

The bill amends Illinois' body‑camera law to require requesters to certify specific information when seeking officer‑worn footage under the Freedom of Information Act. It defines several exemptions—such as ongoing investigations, pending criminal charges, or material that could prejudice a jury—and protects agencies from civil suits when they deny access in good faith. Law‑enforcement agencies must still make any non‑exempt footage available for inspection and copying.
