An Act establishing driver privacy protections

HD 1032 establishes privacy protections for drivers by regulating how law enforcement and government agencies collect and use location data from license plate readers and toll systems. The bill requires law enforcement to obtain a search warrant for most access to this data (with limited emergency exceptions requiring a 48-hour report), prohibits selling or sharing the data, and limits retention to 14 days for license plate data and 120 days for toll data. It also bans using illegally collected data in court proceedings and allows drivers to file civil lawsuits for violations. These rules directly protect drivers from unwarranted surveillance and data misuse by government agencies and private entities collecting vehicle location information.
