Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill prohibits a person from sharing historical location information collected by an automatic registration plate reader with a nongovernmental third party if the information could be used to identify another person or another person’s vehicle. A person who shares such information in violation of the bill commits a simple misdemeanor. A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855. The bill prohibits local authorities from issuing a citation for a violation detected by an automated vehicle noise enforcement system, as defined in the bill, based on noise emitted from the use of a vehicle’s brake or exhaust system while the vehicle is reducing speed.
