Bill > HB5125

This bill amends the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to provide that if a request is received for public records of officer-worn body camera audio or video, the public body must either comply with or deny the request within 15 business days, rather than the standard 5 business days. The bill also allows the public body to extend the time to respond to such requests by an additional 15 business days, unless the requester and the public body agree in writing to a different extension period. The bill aims to provide additional time for public bodies to process requests for these types of sensitive law enforcement records.
