Relating to disclosure under the public information law of video
evidence of a crime that resulted in the death of a person to the
deceased person ’s next of kin.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 4174 would allow the disclosure of video evidence of a crime that
resulted in the death of a person to the deceased person’s family. This disclosure to the family is not considered a voluntary disclosure
which would make it available to the public, and does not
waive the right to assert in the future that the information is
excepted from required disclosure.
Texas Action is neutral toward HB 4174 which does not appear to affect our liberty principles, although it does appear to represent good public policy.
