Introduced·2/3/26
Introduced Text

Illinois SB3257 regulates the retention and sharing of automated license plate reader (ALPR) data by law enforcement agencies.

Illinois SB3257 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to establish rules for the retention and sharing of ALPR data. It prohibits law enforcement agencies from sharing ALPR data with out-of-state agencies without a written declaration affirming the data will not be used to violate privacy rights. The bill mandates that ALPR data older than 90 days can only be accessed with written approval from the law enforcement agency head. Detection records must be destroyed five years after creation unless relevant to an ongoing investigation or trial.
