Washington State Passes Updated License Plate Reader Bill

Washington States House of Representatives has passed an updated bill, Senate Bill six thousand two, to regulate automated license plate readers. The measure, which now heads back to the Senate for approval, allows police to use the data for gross misdemeanors, not just felonies, stolen cars, or missing people. The bill includes rules such as deleting data in twenty-one days unless its evidence, no sharing except in court, and bans on using it for immigration checks or placing readers near schools, churches, courts, or food banks. Agencies must log access for two years. The attorney general will create model policies by July first, twenty twenty-seven, with local agencies adopting them by December.
