HB 416 — AN ACT relating to the disclosure of body-worn camera recordings. Create a new section of KRS Chapter 61 to provide definitions; specify that body-worn camera recordings are governed by the Kentucky Open Records Act and the retention of body-worn camera recordings is governed by KRS 171.410 to 170.740; provide exceptions as to when a public agency may elect not to disclose body worn camera recordings; specify procedures for requesting body- worn camera recordings; require that any person or agency that wishes to disclose, publicly display, or duplicate body-worn camera recordings must first give notice to any non-law enforcement agency or person depicted in the recording; create a new cause of action for enumerated persons who are not provided notice of disclosure of the recording; clarify that nothing in this section should be interpreted to override KRS 17.150 or the laws governing discovery in either criminal or civil litigation or in an administrative proceeding.

This bill died with 2017 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
