HB 561 -- SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY

SPONSOR: Boggs

Currently, employees of a state agency or a political subdivision are prohibited from placing a surveillance camera or game camera on private property without the consent of the landowner or landowner's designee, a search warrant, or permission from the highest ranking law enforcement chief or officer of the agency under certain conditions. This bill removes the ability for the highest ranking law enforcement chief or officer to approve the placement of a camera on private property.

This bill is the same as HB 1788 (2024); and HB 335 (2023).
