The bill would

• Require law enforcement agencies within the Department of Justice (DOJ) to record all interviews of U.S. citizens who are suspected of committing a crime
• Require DOJ to preserve recordings for 10 years after an investigation or final court proceeding is completed
• Prevent information obtained in unrecorded interviews from being used as evidence in a court proceeding

Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from

• Hiring additional personnel to upload, maintain, and review recordings and facilitate sharing of evidence as part of the discovery process
• Procuring body-worn cameras and associated hardware and software for recording and storing data

Areas of significant uncertainty include

• Predicting how DOJ would implement the bill
• Projecting the bill’s effects on the number, duration, and complexity of charges pursued for litigation
