The Office of Legislative Services (OLS) finds that the Judiciary

additional resources will likely have to be allocated to any increase in civil
caseload.� The OLS also anticipates collections from court fees, and
potentially penalties, to grow in tandem with the caseload.

The Department of Law and Public Safety may incur additional
workload from the enforcement of civil penalties established by this bill.� The
OLS has no further information to quantify the fiscal impact from the

BILL DESCRIPTION
�����
This bill
prohibits
the sharing of automated license plate reader information in furtherance of an

information in furtherance of any interstate investigation or proceeding
seeking to impose civil or criminal liability on any person for the provision,
receipt, or seeking of, or inquiring or responding to an inquiry about,
reproductive health care services that are legal in this State.�
���� In addition, the bill
prohibits any law enforcement agency from sharing automated license plate
reader information with any out-of-State law enforcement agency without first
obtaining a written declaration from the out-of-State law enforcement agency
that the information will not be used in furtherance of any interstate
investigation or proceeding regarding reproductive health care services.�
���� Under the bill, any
person who operates, manages, or has access to information obtained by an

pregnancy.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
EXECUTIVE BRANCH
����� None received.
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE SERVICES
����� The OLS finds that the Judiciary will incur an
indeterminate increase in annual operating expenditures, as additional
resources will likely have to be allocated to a potentially increased civil
caseload from the establishment of civil penalties for knowingly sharing
license plate reader information for certain investigations.� The OLS also
anticipates collections from court fees, and potentially penalties, to grow in
tandem with the caseload.
����� The Office of the Attorney General in the Department
of Law and Public Safety may also experience an increase in workload due to
enforcement responsibilities.
