Senate tightens limits on sharing ALPR data and clarifies third‑party access
Summary
Senate amendments to SF2284 prohibit nongovernmental third‑party sharing of historical ALPR location data except to law enforcement or limited insurance fraud purposes; the amended measure passed after roll call.
Senator Dickey presented amendments to Senate File 22 84 to limit how automatic license plate reader (ALPR) images and historical location data may be shared. He said the amendment “prohibits a person from providing a copy of a license plate image or other data captured by an ALPR to [a] third party unless the third party is” a peace officer, a contractor for law enforcement, or an insurance‑related entity engaged in fraud investigations.
Debate touched on local uses, privacy and whether automated enforcement devices could be perceived as revenue generators. Senator Zimmerman recounted small‑town complaints about excessive noise enforcement and advised caution about statewide intervention. The Senate adopted the amendment and later recorded a final passage roll call of 30 ayes and 15 nays.
