Bill > A00563

This bill requires the consumer protection division to develop a comprehensive policy governing the use of Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) systems by non-law enforcement and non-government entities. An ALPR is defined as a system using high-speed cameras and computer algorithms to convert license plate images into readable data. The policy must address permissible uses, data sharing, prohibited uses, record retention, and management, and will be posted on the Department of State's website for public access. Additionally, the bill mandates that any non-law enforcement or non-government entity using ALPR systems must conspicuously post this policy on their website or in their main office, making it available to the public upon request. The bill also calls for the development of a training program for employees of these entities regarding the ALPR policy, with recommendations for initial and periodic retraining. The legislation will take effect one year after becoming law, giving organizations time to implement the required policies and training.
