Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Protecting child victims’ police videos

Beginning July 1, 2026, police-held videotaped statements of minor victims of sexual crimes are confidential wherever they reveal the child’s identity. That includes the child’s face, contact details, school, church, employer, or personal assets. Public employees with these tapes must not willfully share identity details with people not helping the case, except the defendant, the defendant’s lawyer, or someone named in a court order. Breaking this rule is a first-degree misdemeanor. Authorized agencies can still access the tapes to do their duties.

Short-term name shield for officers

Beginning July 1, 2026, when an officer is a victim while on duty, the officer’s name in public records is confidential for the first 72 hours and for 60 more days. After that period, the name may be released under public-records law. This does not override separate protections for sexual-battery victims.

Stronger privacy for crime victims and families

Beginning July 1, 2026, agencies that regularly handle victim information keep a crime victim’s name, ID number, phones, addresses, and personal asset details out of public records. The same fields for a victim’s lawful representative, family member, or next of kin are also private. This does not cover the accused or someone whose interests conflict with the victim’s. Victims of sexual battery, aggravated child abuse, aggravated stalking, harassment, aggravated battery, or domestic violence can file a written request with official proof to shield their phone, address, and asset details; that protection lasts five years from when the agency gets the request. State and federal agencies that are allowed by law still get access to do their jobs. These protections are scheduled to end on October 2, 2031 unless the Legislature renews them.
