TRANSPORTATION – Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding the use of automated license plate readers and their data and to provide for vehicles equipped with front license plate mounting brackets.

This bill establishes new rules for Idaho's use of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) by law enforcement and transportation agencies, limiting their use to investigating crimes, traffic accidents, or missing persons, and for improving traffic flow. It requires strict data privacy measures, including access controls, mandatory staff training, and detailed logging of all ALPR data access to prevent misuse. The bill also updates license plate display requirements, mandating front plates for most vehicles equipped with front mounting brackets (with exceptions for motorcycles, ATVs, and certain commercial vehicles). These changes take effect July 1, 2025, directly affecting Idaho law enforcement agencies, transportation departments, and vehicle owners.
