No. 1782

Introduced by Assembly Member Chau

February 22, 2019

---

An act to amend Section 1798.90.5 of the Civil Code, relating to personal information.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1782, as introduced, Chau. Automated license plate recognition systems.

Existing law defines an automated license plate recognition (ALPR) system as a searchable computerized database resulting from the operation of one or more mobile or fixed cameras combined with computer algorithms to read and convert images of registration plates and the characters they contain into computer-readable data. Existing law imposes specified requirements on an ALPR operator and an ALPR end-user including, among others, maintaining reasonable security procedures and practices to protect ALPR information and implementing a usage and privacy policy with respect to that information, as specified. Existing law requires a public agency that operates or intends to operate an ALPR system to provide an opportunity for public comment at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the governing body of the public agency before implementing the program. Existing law prohibits a public agency from selling, sharing, or transferring ALPR information, except to another public agency, as specified. Existing law defines several terms for the purposes of those provisions.

The bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those definitions.
