A bill for an act relating to the use of automatic registration plate readers, providing penalties, and including effective date provisions.

HF 2556 bans all state agencies, law enforcement, and contractors acting for government from using automatic license plate reader (ALPR) systems or retaining their data. It requires existing ALPRs to be removed and all collected data destroyed within 30 days of the law's effective date. The bill creates a private right to sue for violations (with $1,000+ per day penalties), prohibits ALPR evidence in court, and imposes civil fines of $10,000+ per violation. This replaces Iowa’s current law, which only required deleting ALPR images after 30 days, with a complete prohibition on the technology.
