The bill amends the existing law regarding the powers and duties of conservation officers in Michigan by adding a new section that mandates the use of body-worn cameras. Specifically, it requires that conservation officers wear these cameras while performing their official duties, effective from the date the amendment is enacted.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any audio or video recordings captured by these body-worn cameras will be governed by the law enforcement body-worn camera privacy act, ensuring that privacy concerns are addressed. The term "body-worn camera" is defined in accordance with the existing law enforcement body-worn camera privacy act.
