H 547 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to the repeal of the automated license plate recognition (ALPR) system statutes and the enactment of laws allowing for the use of automated law enforcement

This bill would repeal existing laws governing automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems in Vermont, allowing those current systems to expire on July 1, 2024. It then introduces new legislation that would permit the use of ALPR and automated traffic law enforcement (ATLE) systems for legitimate law enforcement purposes, including traffic safety. The new provisions would allow ATLE systems using radar and cameras in specific areas such as work zones, school zones, high-crash areas, speeding hotspots, and intersections with traffic signals. The bill directly affects law enforcement agencies and traffic management systems across the state. It aims to update regulations to modernize how automated enforcement technology is used while maintaining oversight through specified locations and purposes.
