What happened and what to do
In an October 2, 2026 article, The Record reports that Republican Senator Josh Hawley introduced a proposal to limit automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders and Jeff Merkley, along with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, prepared another bill described as broader. The initiatives indicate bipartisan pushback against the technology’s use in the United States.
Companies collecting or using license plate data can map data flows and establish controls for access, retention, purpose of use, and auditing. A practical project could include an inventory of relevant systems and vendors, monitoring of queries, and alerts for access outside defined rules, without assuming the proposals have become law.
