House Bill 791 would allow law enforcement agencies to disclose police video footage to city councils or county commissions, city or county managers, or citizens review boards — all of whom would be bound by confidentiality agreements. Currently, law enforcement agencies cannot release police video footage to the public without a court order, creating too many barriers to justice.
