This bill aims to regulate the use of automated license plate readers (ALPR) by government entities and private individuals in Minnesota. It prohibits government entities from using ALPR systems, collecting data for these systems, or disseminating data to them without a judicial warrant. Additionally, it establishes that any person collecting data through an ALPR system must inform drivers that the system is in use and cannot sell or share the data without the individual's consent or a court order. The bill also classifies data collected by ALPR systems as personal data, subject to existing data privacy laws.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that law enforcement agencies must destroy any ALPR data they have collected within seven days of the bill's enactment, unless the data pertains to active criminal investigations. It repeals existing statutes related to ALPR data practices, specifically Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 13.824 and 626.8472, which previously governed the use and management of ALPR systems. The new provisions are proposed to be codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325M, and the act will take effect the day after its final enactment.
