Minnesota SF4739 modifies regulations on automated license plate reader data, enhancing privacy protections and centralizing data management.

Minnesota SF4739 amends existing statutes to enhance privacy protections and centralize data management for automated license plate readers (ALPR). The bill restricts data collection to license plate numbers, date, time, and location data, and images of license plates and vehicles. It mandates that ALPR data be transferred to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension unless they are active criminal investigative data. Private entities using ALPR systems must inform drivers of data collection and cannot share data without consent, a court order, or a warrant.
