Bill > S07713

This bill amends the general business law to add new restrictions on the use of automatic license plate reader (ALPR) systems, which are defined as systems using cameras to convert license plate images into readable data, including data shared through multi-agency or vendor agreements. Specifically, it prohibits any entity that owns or operates an ALPR system, referred to as an "automatic license plate reader user," from selling, sharing, allowing access to, or transferring captured plate data – which includes location, date, time, and license plate numbers – to any state or local jurisdiction if that information will be used to investigate or enforce laws that restrict a person's right to obtain reproductive health care or any other lawful health care services. Furthermore, it requires any ALPR user in New York, including law enforcement agencies, to obtain a written affirmation from out-of-state law enforcement agencies stating that the data will not be used in a way that violates these restrictions before sharing any ALPR information with them, and mandates that captured plate data be kept confidential. These provisions do not apply to electronic toll collection systems operated by public authorities.
