Code Inspector Body Cameras

The bill requires government entities that allow code inspectors to wear body cameras to create specific policies and procedures for their use. It also sets requirements for these entities and prevents code inspectors and others involved in code enforcement from intercepting certain communications.

Supporters of the bill argue that it enhances transparency and accountability in code enforcement by ensuring that body cameras are used responsibly. They believe that clear policies will protect both inspectors and the public, leading to fairer enforcement of code regulations.

Critics of the bill may argue that it imposes unnecessary regulations on code inspectors that could hinder their ability to perform their duties effectively. They might also express concerns about privacy issues related to the use of body cameras and the potential for misuse of recorded footage.
