Bill Summary
For legislation to protect the privacy of 911 callers. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the privacy of 911 callers. It would designate the audio recording of a 911 call as private data, with only the written transcript being considered public. The audio recording could still be used for law enforcement investigations and public safety training purposes, but its release to the public would be prohibited without the caller's consent or a court order finding that the public's right to access outweighs the caller's privacy interests. This law would not apply to law enforcement personnel conducting investigations where the 911 call is relevant.
