OFFICER-WORN CAMERA EXCEPTIONS

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

Amends the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera Act. Provides that the written policy that must be adopted by each law enforcement agency that employs the use of officer-worn body cameras must require cameras to be turned off when, among other things, an executive branch constitutional officer requests that the camera be turned off and that request is made to the executive branch constitutional officer's on-duty and assigned security detail.
