This Oregon act imposes several restrictions and requirements related to automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems and makes additional changes to criminal procedure and justice programs. On ALPRs, the act restricts law enforcement agencies to specified authorized uses and limits retention of captured license plate data to no more than 30 days unless the data is related to an ongoing criminal investigation or court proceeding. Law enforcement agencies must adopt policies governing ALPR vendor contracts and the use of ALPRs and captured license plate data. Sharing of captured license plate data with non-Oregon law enforcement agencies is limited, and ALPR vendors are prohibited from accessing, selling, or disclosing captured license plate data. Civil penalties may be imposed for intentional or grossly negligent violations, and individuals may bring civil actions for violations. On pretrial release, the act provides that standing pretrial release orders do not affect a magistrate's authority to consider the primary and secondary release criteria when making a release decision. The act also removes the named administrator of and technical assistance provider for the Justice Reinvestment Equity Program and requires the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission to select a technical assistance provider according to specified criteria. The act declares an emergency and takes effect upon passage.
