New Jersey A2594 sets rules for law enforcement agencies using automated license plate readers.

New Jersey A2594 mandates that law enforcement agencies using automated license plate readers must submit annual reports to the Attorney General. These reports must detail the number of readers, readings, stored data, and data requests, including those from out-of-state and federal agencies. The bill also requires agencies to retain data for two years, with the option to request early purging for reasons like reducing storage costs. Unauthorized use of this data by agency employees is a disorderly persons offense.
