This bill introduces two new criminal offenses related to the interference with security cameras in correctional facilities. The first offense, "interference with a security camera in a correctional facility," is defined as intentionally covering a security camera without proper authority, classified as a class A nonperson misdemeanor. The second offense, "aggravated interference with a security camera in a correctional facility," encompasses more severe actions such as removing, damaging, or rendering a security camera inoperable, particularly during a riot. This offense is categorized into two levels of felonies: a severity level 9 nonperson felony for general damage and a severity level 6 nonperson felony for actions taken during a riot.

The bill also provides definitions for "correctional facility" and "security camera," ensuring clarity in the application of these new offenses. Correctional facilities include jails, correctional institutions, and juvenile detention facilities, while security cameras are defined as devices capable of recording or transmitting images. The act will become effective upon its publication in the statute book, and it is intended to supplement the existing Kansas criminal code.
