The bill amends Code of Criminal Procedure Article 234 to modify the regulations surrounding the release and dissemination of booking photographs by law enforcement agencies. It removes previous limitations that restricted the sharing of these photographs, allowing for broader public access. The definition of "remove-for-pay publication or website" is clarified to include those that primarily profit from the publication of booking photographs. Additionally, the bill mandates that such publications must remove and destroy booking photographs upon request from individuals who have been acquitted, not prosecuted, or had their charges expunged, without requiring any payment for this removal.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that any remove-for-pay publication that fails to comply with the removal request will be liable for legal costs incurred by the individual seeking removal. It also includes provisions to protect law enforcement agencies from civil liability in cases of inadvertent errors in the publication of booking photographs. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the rights of individuals regarding their booking photographs while ensuring accountability for publications that exploit such images for profit.
