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

The proposed amendments are intended to ensure that the legal framework surrounding automated license plate recognition systems remains intact, thereby safeguarding the guidelines for their operation and the management of the data they generate. This legislative effort reflects a commitment to maintaining oversight and accountability in the use of technology for law enforcement purposes.
