This bill amends RSA 30-B:1 to authorize county departments of corrections to utilize body-worn cameras in their operations, both within and outside of correctional facilities. The new legal language inserted into the statute is a paragraph that explicitly states, "A county is authorized to utilize body-worn cameras pursuant to RSA 105-D in carrying out its functions both within and outside a correctional facility." There are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the bill.

The effective date for this legislation is set for January 1, 2027, allowing time for counties to prepare for the implementation of body-worn cameras in their correctional operations. The bill was approved on July 2, 2026.
