A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 24-02-45 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to cooperative agreements between the director and law enforcement agencies regarding license plate readers.

HB 1050 would amend North Dakota's existing law (section 24-02-45) to establish a new framework for cooperative agreements between the state driver's license director and local law enforcement agencies regarding the use of license plate readers. The bill specifically creates standardized procedures for how law enforcement can share data collected by these automated license plate recognition systems. It directly affects the state DMV director and all law enforcement agencies that use license plate reader technology, requiring formal agreements to govern data sharing practices. The changes focus on structuring these partnerships rather than altering the technology's use or scope.
