Bill > H0088

This bill amends existing law to define "municipal media recordings" and "law enforcement media recordings," and revise provisions regarding the retention of these types of records. Key provisions include: - Municipal media recordings not associated with a law enforcement report or prosecution must be retained for at least 90 days, after which they can be automatically deleted or overwritten, unless a public records request is made within that time. - Law enforcement media recordings not associated with a report or prosecution within 90 days must also be retained for at least 90 days, after which they can be automatically deleted or overwritten, unless a public records request is made. - The bill allows for the destruction of municipal media recordings and law enforcement media recordings without a city council resolution, unlike other record types. - The bill also makes changes to the retention and destruction procedures for various other types of municipal records, such as permanent, semipermanent, and temporary records. The bill has an emergency clause and will take effect on July 1, 2023.
