HF 3856 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Government entities prohibited from using automated license plate readers, and use of automated license plate readers by other persons regulated.

This bill prohibits Minnesota government entities from using automated license plate reader systems and requires law enforcement agencies to obtain a judicial warrant before accessing any data collected by such systems. It also regulates private use of these readers by requiring clear signage to inform drivers when cameras are in use and mandating that personal data cannot be shared without individual consent, a court order, or a warrant. Additionally, the law requires law enforcement agencies to destroy all existing automated license plate reader data within seven days of the bill's effective date, with limited exceptions for active criminal investigations.
