HF542

This legislative bill in Minnesota proposes an amendment to allow local law enforcement to install automated license plate readers along certain state and county highways. To do this, law enforcement must adhere to specific guidelines: they must notify the relevant highway authority 14 days before placing and after removing the readers, ensure the devices are attached to existing highway infrastructure like traffic signs or lights, and ensure that their placement does not pose a hazard to motorists or interfere with the function of the highway. Additionally, the installation of these readers must be within the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency that is implementing them.
