The proposed bill would amend Title 38, chapter 8, article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 38-1121, which mandates that all camera footage captured by law enforcement officers' body-worn or dash cameras must be deleted within thirty days of being recorded. This new requirement aims to establish a clear timeline for the retention of such footage.

However, the bill includes exceptions to this rule, specifying that the thirty-day deletion requirement does not apply to footage that is relevant to active criminal cases, potential civil liability, or active criminal prosecutions. This ensures that important evidence related to ongoing legal matters is preserved beyond the thirty-day limit.
