NO FLOCK Act

The NO FLOCK Act would require states to pass laws restricting the use of automated license plate reader technology to specific law enforcement purposes, such as enforcing tolls or investigating stolen vehicles and felony offenses. If a state fails to adopt these restrictions within two fiscal years of the bill's enactment, the federal government would withhold 10 percent of that state's highway funding apportionment. This provision directly affects state governments by linking their access to federal transportation funds to the implementation of privacy protections for vehicle tracking data.
