Federal bill proposes to withhold 10% of surface transportation funding from states not restricting automated license plate readers to specific uses.

Federal HB10366, also known as the "No Federal License-Plate Observation and Camera Keeping Act" or "NO FLOCK Act," seeks to amend title 23, United States Code, by withholding 10% of apportioned surface transportation funding from states that do not enact laws restricting the use of automated license plate readers. These readers would only be allowed for enforcing toll systems, identifying stolen vehicles, missing or endangered persons, vehicles registered to persons with a warrant for a felony offense, or investigating a vehicle involved in a felony offense.
