Requires a child care center to record footage captured by the child care center's cameras and retain the footage for 90 days, unless: (1) the child care center receives notice of a suspected crime committed against a child at the child care center, in which case the child care center must retain all footage until the investigation of the suspected crime is complete; or (2) the child care center receives a request from a parent to view the footage, in which case the child care center must retain all footage until the parent has had an opportunity to view the footage.
