12
The
bill
prohibits
a
person
other

13
agency
from
using

A

must
be
14
approved

a
specified
state
procurement
team
that
must
vet
15
the
vendor
and

The
bill
requires
certain
16
provisions
be
included

17
The
bill
requires
a

exceptions
provided

23
plate
readers
to

The
bill
places
restrictions

on
how
plate
readers
may
be
used
and
regulates
law
enforcement
25
officers
stopping
a
vehicle
based
solely

plate
reader
26
alerts.
