This bill requires all uniformed State, county, and municipal patrol law enforcement officers, as well as campus police officers, to wear body-worn cameras that record audio and video during their official duties. It includes specific exceptions for when these cameras do not need to be activated, such as during undercover assignments or non-uniformed duties. The bill expands the definition of "law enforcement officer" to explicitly include campus police officers, ensuring they are subject to the same regulations regarding body-worn cameras. Additionally, it allows for funding through various sources, including forfeiture funds and federal grants.

The legislation establishes strict guidelines for the activation and deactivation of body-worn cameras, including the requirement for officers to notify individuals when they are being recorded. It mandates retention periods for recordings, which must be kept for at least 180 days, with longer retention for recordings related to complaints or investigations. The bill prohibits the use of recordings for commercial purposes and restricts access to third-party agents, except for necessary deletions. It also outlines disciplinary actions for non-compliance, including a rebuttable presumption favoring defendants in criminal cases if evidence is destroyed or not captured. The act will take effect seven months after its enactment.
