Bill > S07713

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to restrict the use of automatic license plate reader (ALPR) systems, which are high-speed cameras that capture and digitize license plate information. The bill prohibits ALPR users from selling, sharing, or transferring license plate data to any state or local jurisdiction if the purpose is to investigate or enforce laws that interfere with a person's right to access reproductive health care or other lawful health care services. Additionally, the bill requires that before sharing ALPR information with out-of-state law enforcement agencies, New York agencies must first obtain a written declaration affirming that the data will not be used to violate reproductive health care rights. The bill defines key terms such as "captured plate data" and mandates that ALPR information be held confidentially. Importantly, the restrictions do not apply to electronic toll collection systems. The bill aims to protect individuals' privacy and access to health care services by limiting the potential use of license plate tracking technology to investigate or prosecute those seeking reproductive health care.
