AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 530

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 530 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Automated License Plate Recognition System Data Act.

Section 5. Definitions. For the purpose of this Act:

"ALPR system data" means data packets representing interpretation by ALPR systems of recorded vehicle license plates affixed to vehicles in the field of view of ALPR system cameras, with associated global positioning system coordinates, and time and date stamps associated with the recording of the data.

"Automated license plate recognition system" or "ALPR system" means a system of one or more mobile, portable, or fixed video cameras using computer algorithms to convert images of license plates into automated computer-recognized searchable alphanumeric data, including associated servers, data normalization technologies, and similar technologies.

"Historical ALPR system data" means data recorded by ALPR systems that are stored in an authorized ALPR system platform.

"Law enforcement agency" means an agency of this State, another state within the United States, a unit of local government, or a political subdivision of any of the preceding, that is vested by law or ordinance with the duty to maintain public order or to enforce criminal laws and ordinances.

"Legitimate law enforcement purpose" means for the purpose of the investigation of a criminal offense or violation of a federal, State, or local law or ordinance by a law enforcement agency.

"Secured area" means an area, enclosed by clear boundaries, to which access is limited and not open to the public and entry is obtainable only through specific access-control points.

Section 10. ALPR system data and historical ALPR system data protections.

(a) A law enforcement agency may use recorded ALPR system data and historical ALPR system data only for a legitimate law enforcement purpose. ALPR system data collected by law enforcement and historical ALPR system data collected by law enforcement may not be used, shared, sold, traded, or exchanged for any other purpose.

(b) ALPR system data and historical ALPR system data shall be considered and treated by a law enforcement agency as sensitive data, but the data is not in the same category as personally identifying information.

(c) ALPR system data and historical ALPR system data are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

(d) This Act does not apply to automated license plate recognition systems or similar systems:

(1) used for electronic toll collection and enforcement;

(2) used in government buildings and other locations for security purposes or controlling access to a secured area;

(3) used for private sector activities; or

(4) used for any purpose for which motor vehicle registration data may be accessed under 18 U.S.C. 2721.

Section 15. Use and privacy policy. Any law enforcement agency that uses automated license plate recognition systems shall:

(1) adopt a policy governing use of the system;

(2) adopt a privacy policy to ensure strict access and control of the data so that ALPR system data and historical ALPR system data are not used or shared in violation of this Act;

(3) adopt audit procedures relating to use of ALPR system data and historical ALPR system data; and

(4) adopt and periodically update a comprehensive training program, for agency employees who use or have access to ALPR system data and historical ALPR system data, that fully trains the employees on safeguards in use of ALPR system data or historical ALPR system data and procedures to adhere to policies and procedures governing use of ALPR system data or historical ALPR system data.

Section 20. ALPR system data retention. A State or local law enforcement agency may retain ALPR system data for 5 years. After 5 years, the State or local law enforcement agency must create an internal record showing why data older than 5 years was accessed, and attach a case name and number, the name of the officer that accessed the data, the date, and an explanation for why the data was accessed.

Section 25. Admissibility. If a court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that ALPR system data or historical ALPR system data was gathered, stored, used, or disclosed in violation of this Act, then that information shall be presumed to be inadmissible in any judicial or administrative proceeding. The party seeking admission of the ALPR system data or historical ALPR system data may overcome this presumption by proving the applicability of a judicially recognized exception to the exclusionary rule of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution or Section 6 of Article I of the Illinois Constitution or by a preponderance of the evidence that the law enforcement agency was acting in good faith and reasonably believed that one or more of the exceptions existed at the time that the ALPR system data or historical ALPR system data was gathered, stored, used, or disclosed.

Section 30. Home rule and other local regulation. Any home rule unit of local government, any non-home rule municipality, or any non-home rule county within the unincorporated territory of the county may regulate law enforcement agency owned automated license plate recognition systems and the use of ALPR system data collected by law enforcement and historical ALPR system data collected by law enforcement, but that regulation must be no less restrictive than this Act. This Section is a limitation on the concurrent exercise of home rule power under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
