Summary

This bill restricts the use of automatic license plate reader (ALPR) data in New York by prohibiting ALPR users from selling, sharing, or transferring license plate information to state or local jurisdictions for investigating or enforcing laws that restrict reproductive health care services or other lawful health care services. New York law enforcement agencies must obtain a written declaration from out-of-state law enforcement before sharing ALPR data with them, ensuring the data will not be used to investigate laws restricting health care. The bill requires captured plate data to be kept confidential to the fullest extent permitted by law. Electronic toll collection systems operated by public authorities are exempt from these restrictions.
