Bill Summary · AB 2062

Legislative bill overview

AB 2062 proposes new regulations governing access to and use of security camera content in California. The bill has undergone committee amendments and remains in the Public Safety and Consumer Protection Committee as of March 2026. Specific provisions are not detailed in the available legislative history.

Why is this important

Security camera footage raises significant privacy concerns for individuals while also serving legitimate law enforcement, business, and security purposes. Clear statutory guidelines are needed to balance these competing interests and establish standards for when footage can be accessed, by whom, and under what circumstances.

Potential points of contention

  • Privacy protections vs. law enforcement access: Balancing citizen privacy rights against the ability of police and other agencies to obtain footage for investigations
  • Business liability and consent: Determining what notice and consent requirements apply to individuals recorded in private versus public spaces, and whether businesses face liability for misuse of footage
  • Data retention and security: Establishing standards for how long footage must be retained, who can access stored data, and what cybersecurity requirements apply to prevent unauthorized disclosure
