Bill > HB2234

This bill amends the Education Code to expand the policies and procedures related to the placement and use of video cameras in certain classrooms, including those providing special education services. The key provisions include: requiring school districts to provide written notice to staff and parents when activating video cameras, increasing the retention period for recorded video from 3 to 6 months, establishing timelines for schools to begin operating video cameras, and requiring districts to provide written information to parents of students receiving special education services in certain settings about the video camera policy. The bill also allows school safety and security funds to be used for costs associated with video surveillance as provided by the video camera law.
