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

SF 2350 regulates Iowa law enforcement's use of automatic license plate readers (LPRs). It requires officers to obtain a warrant before searching LPR data, reduces data retention from 30 to 7 days, mandates detailed usage logs, and prohibits sharing LPR data with third parties without a warrant. The bill also creates public transparency portals showing what plates are scanned, how many searches occur, and retention statistics. Violating these rules constitutes a simple misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail or a $855 fine.
