S 9890 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to automatic license plate reader systems

This bill restricts New York government entities from using automatic license plate reader systems and the data they collect, allowing use only for specific purposes like investigating stolen vehicles, missing persons, or enforcing parking rules. It mandates that most captured data be deleted within 48 hours unless a legal warrant is issued for a felony investigation or a fine is being processed. The legislation also limits how data can be shared, prohibiting sales or transfers to private parties except under strict judicial orders, and requires agencies to publish annual reports on their camera usage and scanning statistics. Additionally, the bill classifies raw plate data as non-public records to prevent general public access while still allowing certain vehicle owners to request information about their own cars.
