Bill H.636 proposes the establishment of an independent civilian board responsible for overseeing the storage and access to law enforcement body-worn camera footage. This board will consist of five civilian members, who will be appointed by representatives from the three branches of government. The board's duties will include reviewing the footage, responding to public requests for access, and making necessary redactions before the footage is released.

The intent of this legislation is to enhance transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices by ensuring that body-worn camera footage is managed independently from law enforcement agencies. This initiative aims to build public trust and ensure that the handling of such footage is conducted in a fair and impartial manner.
