This bill establishes regulations for the use of automatic license plate reader (ALPR) systems on highway rights-of-way in Oklahoma. It defines key terms related to ALPR technology, including "alert," "hot list," and "license plate reader data." The bill authorizes law enforcement agencies to utilize ALPR systems under specific conditions, such as obtaining a permit from the Department of Transportation and ensuring that the use does not interfere with traffic flow. It also mandates that law enforcement agencies adopt a written policy governing the use of ALPR systems, which includes supervisory oversight, training protocols, and rules for data access and retention.

Additionally, the bill outlines strict requirements for the operation of ALPR systems, including the need for visual confirmation of alerts before traffic stops, the deletion of data within 30 days unless part of an ongoing investigation, and the encryption of data to protect against unauthorized access. It prohibits the sale of license plate reader data and allows for sharing data among law enforcement agencies for legitimate purposes. The Department of Transportation is tasked with promulgating rules to implement these provisions, and the act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
