AN ACT CONCERNING FEES FOR COPYING, REVIEWING AND REDACTING RECORDS CREATED BY POLICE BODY-WORN RECORDING EQUIPMENT AND DASHBOARD CAMERAS.
SB 1229 sets maximum fees for copying, reviewing, and redacting police body-worn camera and dashboard camera footage. It directly affects citizens, attorneys, and others requesting these records, as well as police departments handling such requests. The bill establishes specific limits: $5 per copy, $1 per hour for review time, and $5 for redaction services. These provisions aim to standardize costs and improve public access to police video records without imposing excessive fees.
