What’s in it

This bill relates to confidential records including booking photographs. The bill defines “booking photograph” as a photograph or still, nonvideo image of a person generated by a law enforcement agency for identification purposes after an arrest or while the person is in the law enforcement agency’s custody. The bill provides that a booking photograph is a confidential record, but may be released, published, or disseminated for any of the following reasons: the person in the booking photograph is a fugitive, and releasing or disseminating the booking photograph will assist in apprehending the person; a law enforcement agency or prosecuting agency determines that the person is an imminent threat to an individual or to public safety; a judge orders the release or dissemination of the booking photograph to further a legitimate interest; or the person is convicted or pleads guilty to a criminal offense for which the person was arrested and a booking photograph was taken.
