Bill H.500, introduced by Representative Rachelson of Burlington, seeks to amend existing legislation regarding the regulation of automated license plate recognition systems in Vermont. Specifically, it aims to prevent the repeal of certain provisions in 23 V.S.A. chapter 15, subchapter 2, which govern the use of these systems as well as the retention and utilization of data collected through them.

The proposed amendments are intended to ensure that the regulations surrounding automated license plate recognition systems remain in effect, thereby safeguarding the privacy and data management practices associated with their use. By reinforcing these provisions, the bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining oversight and accountability in the deployment of automated law enforcement technologies.
