This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 38, Chapter 8, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new law would require that all camera footage captured by law enforcement officers' body-worn or dash cameras be deleted 30 days after it is recorded, with the stipulation that this requirement is notwithstanding any other law.

Additionally, the bill specifies exemptions to this deletion requirement for footage that is involved in or necessary for active criminal cases, potential civil liability, or active criminal prosecutions. These changes aim to establish clear guidelines for the retention and deletion of law enforcement camera footage, ensuring compliance with the new regulations while maintaining necessary records for ongoing legal matters.
