The bill amends section 212.055 of the Florida Statutes to revise the definition of "infrastructure" to include equipment, software, and storage necessary for law enforcement agencies to implement or continue the use of body cameras, as specified under section 943.1718. This addition aims to facilitate the funding and integration of body camera technology within law enforcement operations, thereby enhancing transparency and accountability.
The effective date for this amendment is set for July 1, 2026. The bill does not propose any deletions from the current law but focuses on expanding the definition of infrastructure to encompass the necessary components for body camera usage, reflecting a legislative intent to support law enforcement agencies in adopting modern technology for public safety.
