▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation amends Section 50-907, Idaho Code, regarding public record retention of video files. Currently, Idaho Code defines "permanent records," "semi-permanent records," "temporary records," and historical records. This legislation adds two additional categories; "municipal media recordings," and "law enforcement media recordings" and defines each new category. The purpose of adding the additional categories is to preserve existing statutes and documents with the current time requirements, while allowing municipalities to discard video recordings that do not have evidentiary value in order to reduce city expenses passed on to citizens who often pay for the storage of valueless video with property tax revenue.
