ID H0291

Creates a new classification called "law enforcement media recording" defined as a digital record created by law enforcement agencies containing visual or audible components or both created in the performance of duties.

Establishes retention periods for law enforcement media recordings based on evidentiary value: 200 days for recordings with evidentiary value, 60 days for recordings without evidentiary value from non-affixed equipment, and 30 days for recordings without evidentiary value from equipment affixed to building or structure walls.

Defines "evidentiary value" to include recordings involving use of force, arrests or citations, criminal offenses, complaints from recorded subjects, or valid public records requests.

Allows law enforcement media recordings to be deleted without board resolution, unlike other county records which require resolution approval after audit and prosecuting attorney advice.

Defines "law enforcement agency" to include county sheriff's offices, prosecuting attorney's offices, probation offices, and private entities contracted to provide law enforcement services.
