This bill would require members of the Armed Forces who are sent to Washington, DC by the President to deal with crime or civil unrest to wear body cameras while on duty. The cameras and rules would be similar to the DC Metropolitan Police Department’s body-worn camera program, aiming to increase transparency and public trust.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Service members on active duty in DC under a presidential order related to crime or civil disturbance.
• What changes: They must take part in a body-camera program similar to DC’s police program and wear cameras while performing their duties.
• When: The requirement would start 30 days after the bill becomes law.
