The bill, Substitute House Bill No. 7073, amends existing legislation regarding police officer rights during disciplinary investigations that involve recordings from body-worn cameras or dashboard cameras. Specifically, it repeals the phrase "a" and replaces it with "any" in the context of police officers being subjects of disciplinary investigations. This change clarifies that officers have the right to review recordings related to any disciplinary investigation, not just specific instances. The bill also stipulates that officers can review these recordings in the presence of their attorney or labor representative and outlines the timeline for public disclosure of the recordings following the officer's review or the initiation of the investigation.

The effective date for this amendment is set for October 1, 2025. The bill does not have any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it is considered a technical change to existing law. The Public Safety and Security Committee unanimously supported the bill, indicating broad agreement on the importance of ensuring police officers have the opportunity to review recordings pertinent to their conduct before such recordings are made public.
