Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO RECORDS; PROVIDING AN EXCEPTION TO THE DISCLOSURE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT RECORDS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION OF A CHANGE IN CAUSE OF DEATH TO A FAMILY MEMBER OF THE DECEASED.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to create an exception to the public disclosure of law enforcement records, specifically concerning notifications about a change in the cause of death of a family member. Previously, visual or audio recordings of notifying the public about a family member's death were exempt from disclosure. This bill adds a new provision that also exempts visual or audio recordings of notifying the public about a *change* in the cause of death of a family member, unless the person who received the notification gives permission for its release. This means that recordings of these sensitive notifications will be kept private by law enforcement agencies.
