Placement of automated license plate readers in rights-of-way provided.

This bill allows local governments (cities and counties) to obtain permits for placing automated license plate readers (ALPRs) along Minnesota's trunk highways. It creates a formal process requiring the state transportation commissioner to approve these placements and set safety and operational requirements. The bill specifically affects local law enforcement or public safety agencies seeking to use ALPRs in highway rights-of-way, without altering existing ALPR use rules beyond the permitting framework.
