Iowa SF69 establishes rules for the release of booking photographs by law enforcement agencies.

Iowa SF69 amends the Code to define a booking photograph as a photograph or still image taken by law enforcement for identification purposes after an arrest or while the person is in custody. The bill specifies that booking photographs are confidential records but may be released, published, or disseminated if a court determines that the person is a fugitive, poses an imminent threat, or has been convicted of a class "A" or "B" felony not involving a controlled substance.
