A bill for an act relating to the use of automatic registration plate readers, and providing penalties.
Placed on calendar. H.J. 02/18.
Summary
The measure requires local governments to adopt an ordinance before any automatic license‑plate reader can be used and limits how long images and data can be accessed. It sets a 24‑hour limit on accessing records unless a warrant, subpoena, or specific exceptions apply, mandates a log of each access, bans facial‑recognition features, and forbids pointing readers at houses of worship. Violations are treated as misdemeanors, with harsher penalties for unauthorized computer access.
