To restrict the usage of automated license plate reader system by governmental entities, and for other purposes.
Key claim: This House bill would restrict how governmental entities may use automated license plate reader systems.
Abstract
(HR10822 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-10-15): Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Why this matters
Automated license plate readers passively collect location histories on drivers at scale, and governmental use raises questions about retention, sharing, and warrant requirements. A bill explicitly aimed at restricting government ALPR use would shift the baseline of what agencies may collect and keep about vehicle movements, though at introduction stage the operative limits are not yet defined.
