Body-worn and dashboard cameras; delay in disclosing certain recordings restricted

HB 10 (Alabama) limits how long law enforcement agencies can delay disclosing body-worn or dashboard camera recordings to requesters. It requires agencies to stop delaying disclosures after six months from the request date and mandates they reassess delays every 30 days, providing written justification for ongoing withholdings. This directly affects law enforcement agencies (who must follow these disclosure rules) and individuals or their representatives who request recordings of themselves. The bill replaces current practices allowing indefinite delays during investigations with clear time limits and transparency requirements.
