TEXAS LEGISLATION & POLICY

Navigating HB 2083 and ALPR Regulations in the Lone Star State

Texas House Bill 2083, introduced in the 89th Legislature, establishes comprehensive guidelines for governmental use of automatic license plate reader systems. The bill requires agencies to submit annual reports on ALPR usage, ensures data is only used for specific lawful purposes (including felony investigations, stolen vehicle recovery, and toll enforcement), and mandates transparency in how captured plate data is handled.
