Summary
The bill requires the Chief Procurement Office to select approved ALPR systems and allows law‑enforcement agencies to contract for them. Use is limited to criminal investigations, missing‑person or human‑trafficking cases, and alerts for warrants, stolen vehicles or plates, with captured data deleted after 21 days and audit logs after two years. Agencies must keep detailed records, report usage to state officials, and cannot treat a read‑out as reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle.
