FL H7015

Removes the scheduled October 2, 2020 repeal date for the public records exemption covering law enforcement body camera recordings, making the exemption permanent

Body camera recordings remain confidential and exempt from public disclosure when taken inside private residences, healthcare/mental health/social services facilities, or places where a reasonable person would expect privacy

Law enforcement agencies must retain body camera recordings for at least 90 days and may disclose recordings for official duties, to other government agencies, or pursuant to court order

Persons recorded by body cameras, their personal representatives, or lawful residents of recorded locations may request disclosure of relevant portions of recordings

Courts may order disclosure after considering factors including compelling interest, privacy concerns, safety of depicted persons, and potential harm to fair administration of justice
