The proposed "Driver Privacy and Safety Act" establishes regulations surrounding the use and sharing of information collected by automated license plate readers (ALPRs). It defines key terms related to ALPRs, including what constitutes automated license plate reader information and who qualifies as an automated license plate reader user. The Act prohibits users from sharing or selling ALPR information if there is a reasonable belief that it may be used for immigration enforcement, prosecuting legal activities, or identifying individuals based on constitutionally protected activities. Additionally, it mandates that any sharing of ALPR information with out-of-state parties requires a written declaration affirming compliance with these restrictions.

The Act also requires law enforcement agencies that utilize ALPRs to report quarterly to the attorney general, detailing requests for information from out-of-state parties and the nature of those requests. The attorney general is tasked with publishing these reports. Enforcement of the Act is vested in the attorney general or district attorneys, who can seek civil penalties for violations, with fines set at a minimum of $10,000 or actual damages. The provisions of the Act are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
