Mandates the state inspector general provide a written recommendation on public release within 7 days of a critical incident, with the law enforcement agency head making the final release decision within 48 hours of receiving that recommendation

Prohibits public release of recordings involving domestic violence or sex offenses, and recordings that could reveal confidential source identities

Allows redaction or blurring of released footage to protect juveniles, privacy of victims/witnesses/suspects, and safety of individuals involved in the incident

Requires law enforcement agencies to report any decision not to release a recording to the court with jurisdiction, which may reverse the decision after consulting with interested parties
