AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Public Safety and Security, in consultation with the Colonel of the State Police, to adopt regulations that mandate the video or digital recording of the booking process for any person arrested by a state police officer. The regulations must include procedures to ensure that the recordings are not tampered with or destroyed for a reasonable period. Failure to use the video equipment in a manner that preserves a factual representation of the booking would constitute a dereliction of duty. The Secretary must adopt the required regulations by July 31, 2016.
