This bill requires state and local law enforcement agencies to create and publicly post a policy governing the use of automatic license plate reader systems. The law mandates that these policies cover specific areas such as permissible uses, data sharing, prohibited activities, how long records are kept, and officer training. Agencies must also make these rules available to the public online or at their main offices, while being allowed to adopt stricter standards than the state minimum. Additionally, the bill directs the relevant council to recommend ongoing training programs for police officers regarding these new procedures. The provisions will officially take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
This bill restricts how New York government entities can use automatic license plate reader systems and the data they collect. It generally prohibits their use except for specific purposes such as investigating outstanding warrants, stolen vehicles, missing persons, parking violations, toll collection, and traffic law enforcement.

Relates to social media open application programming; requires social media platforms to implement and maintain a standards-based application programming interface that permits third-party applications to retrieve data at no cost to be used for the user's benefit and to provide certain information to users; requires social media companies to submit a report to the attorney general.
This bill restricts New York government entities from using automatic license plate reader systems and the data they collect, allowing use only for specific purposes like investigating stolen vehicles, missing persons, or enforcing parking rules. It mandates that most captured data be deleted within 48 hours unless a legal warrant is issued for a felony investigation or a fine is being processed. The legislation also limits how data can be shared, prohibiting sales or transfers to private parties except under strict judicial orders, and requires agencies to publish annual reports on their camera usage and scanning statistics. Additionally, the bill classifies raw plate data as non-public records to prevent general public access while still allowing certain vehicle owners to request information about their own cars.
This New York bill prohibits data brokers from selling or advertising the personal information of current and former military service members and their households without explicit consent. The law defines consent strictly as a clear, affirmative act by the individual, excluding pre-checked boxes or general terms of service, and places the burden of proving consent on the company handling the data. While it targets private data brokers, the legislation includes specific exemptions for government agencies, financial institutions, and organizations complying with existing federal privacy laws. The measure applies to any business operating in New York or targeting its residents, aiming to protect the privacy of military personnel from unauthorized data transactions.
