Automated license plate recognition systems; prohibit use of in the state subject to certain exceptions.

HB 528 bars Mississippi counties and municipalities from using automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems to enforce traffic laws like speeding or traffic signals on public roads. It requires all existing ALPR systems to be removed by July 1, 2025, except for mobile systems mounted on police vehicles that are wholly owned and operated by law enforcement agencies. These exceptions must follow strict rules: agencies must adopt written policies covering data use, retention, and security; conduct annual audits; and limit ALPR data to official law enforcement purposes like identifying stolen vehicles or persons with warrants. The bill also clarifies that ALPR matches alone cannot justify stopping a vehicle.
