HSB 723: Relating to intelligence data, including the use of historical location information

What it does

This bill relates to intelligence data, including the use of historical location information. The bill defines “historical location information” as information that, when accessed, reveals the locations of persons or vehicles more than hours prior to the time of access. The bill also provides a definition for “metropolitan area”, and amends the definition of “intelligence data” to include historical location information. The bill requires the operator of an automatic registration plate reader or any associated data storage device to permanently delete every image of a vehicle registration plate captured by the plate reader, and any other accompanying data, no later than hours after the image was captured.
