Sec. 3. [13.824] AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS.

Subdivision 1. Definition. As used in this section, "automated license plate reader" means government data derived from an automated reader that captures motor vehicle license plate numbers. Automated license plate reader includes a device that is owned or operated by a person who is not a government entity to the extent that data collected by the reader are shared with a law enforcement agency.

(2) date, time, and location data on vehicles; and

(3) pictures of license plates, vehicles, and areas surrounding the vehicles.

Collection of any data not authorized by this paragraph is prohibited.

(b) All data collected by an automated license plate reader are private data on individuals or nonpublic data unless the data are public under section 13.82, subdivisions 2, 3, or 6, or are active criminal investigative data under section 13.82, subdivision 7. Maintenance of data collected from an automated license plate reader, without additional evidence and a reasonable, articulable suspicion that the data relates to the commission of a crime, is not sufficient to constitute an active criminal investigation for purposes of section 13.82, subdivision 7. Data that are inactive criminal investigative data are subject to the destruction standards provided in subdivision 3.

(c) A law enforcement agency must only use the Minnesota license plate data file and may not develop or organize its own data files or database for matching data collected from an automated license plate reader, unless the data is intended to locate a specific person that is the subject of an active criminal investigation. A central state repository of automated license plate reader data is prohibited unless explicitly authorized by law.

Journal of the House - 27th Day - Thursday, March 12, 2015 - Top of Page 814

(d) An automated license plate reader may not be used to target and track, at a specific location, a person subject to an active criminal investigation except if authorized by warrant.

Subd. 3. Destruction of data required. (a) Notwithstanding section 138.17, data collected by an automated license plate reader must be destroyed:

(1) within 30 days from the time of collection, if the data are classified under subdivision 2, provided that if the law enforcement agency has received a written request that the data be preserved from an individual who is the subject of a pending criminal charge or complaint that includes the case or complaint number and a statement that the data may be used as exculpatory evidence, the data must not be destroyed until the criminal charge or complaint is resolved or dismissed; or

(2) upon request of a program participant under chapter 5B, at the time of collection or upon receipt of the request, whichever occurs later, unless the data are active criminal investigative data.

(b) Data on a request of a program participant under paragraph (a), clause (2), are private data on individuals.

Subd. 4. Sharing among law enforcement agencies. (a) Automated license plate reader data may only be shared with, or disseminated to, another law enforcement agency upon a reasonable, articulable suspicion that the data relates to the commission of a crime. A request for data sharing under this paragraph must meet the standards for requesting access to data as provided in subdivision 7, paragraph (a).

(b) If data collected by an automated license plate reader are shared with another law enforcement agency, the agency that receives the data must comply with all data classification, destruction, and security requirements of this section.

(c) Automated license plate reader data may not be shared with, disseminated to, sold, or traded with any other individual or entity unless explicitly authorized by this subdivision or law.

Subd. 5. Log of use required. (a) A law enforcement agency that installs or uses an automated license plate reader must maintain a public log of its use, including but not limited to:

(1) specific times of day that the reader actively collected data;

(2) the aggregate number of vehicles or license plates on which data are collected for each period of active use;

(3) for each period of active use, the number of vehicles or license plates in each of the following categories where the data identify a vehicle or license plate that has been stolen, a warrant for the arrest of the owner of the vehicle or an owner with a suspended or revoked driver's license or similar category, or are active investigative data; and

(4) for a reader at a stationary or fixed location, the location at which the reader actively collected data and is installed and used.

(b) The law enforcement agency must maintain a list of the current and previous locations, including dates at those locations, of any fixed stationary automated license plate readers used by the agency. The agency's list must be accessible to the public.

Subd. 6. Annual audit. (a) In addition to the log required under subdivision 5, the law enforcement agency must maintain records showing the date and time the data were collected and the applicable classification of the data. The law enforcement agency shall arrange for an independent, annual audit of the records to determine whether data currently in the records are classified, how the data are used, whether they are destroyed as required under this section, and to verify compliance with subdivision 7. Data in the records required under this paragraph are classified as provided in subdivision 2.

Journal of the House - 27th Day - Thursday, March 12, 2015 - Top of Page 815

(b) The results of the audit are public. A law enforcement agency determined to be in a pattern of substantial noncompliance with this section must immediately suspend operation of all automated license plate reader devices until such time as the legislature has authorized the agency, by law, to reinstate their use. An order of suspension under this paragraph shall be issued by the commissioner of administration, upon review of the results of the audit, review of the applicable provisions of this chapter, and after providing the agency a reasonable opportunity to respond to the audit's findings.

(c) A report summarizing the results of each audit must be provided to the commissioner of administration and to the chair and ranking minority members of the committees of the house of representatives and the senate with jurisdiction over data practices and public safety issues, no later than 30 days following completion of the audit.

Subd. 7. Authorization to access data. (a) A law enforcement agency must comply with sections 13.05, subdivision 5, and 13.055 in the operation of automated license plate readers and access to the data. The responsible authority for a law enforcement agency must establish written procedures to ensure that law enforcement personnel have access to the data only if authorized in writing, on a case-by-case basis, by the chief of police, sheriff, or head of the law enforcement agency, or their designee, to obtain access to data collected by an automated license plate reader for a legitimate, specified, and documented law enforcement purpose. Access to the data must be pertinent to an active criminal investigation, and a request for access must include a record of the factual basis for the request and any associated case number, complaint, or incident that is the basis for the request.

(b) The ability of authorized individuals to enter, update, or access data must be limited through the use of role-based access that corresponds to the official duties or training level of the individual and the statutory authorization that grants access for that purpose. All queries and responses, and all actions in which data are entered, updated, accessed, shared, or disseminated, must be recorded in a data audit trail. Data contained in the audit trail are public, to the extent that the data are not otherwise classified by law.

Subd. 8. Notification to Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. (a) Within ten days of the installation or current use of an automated license plate reader, a law enforcement agency must notify the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension of any fixed location of a stationary automated license plate reader and, if applicable, if the agency uses any other automated license plate reader or any other type of electronic device or technology that collects data on motor vehicles or occupants that may be used for identification purposes or for tracking activities of motor vehicles or individuals.

(b) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension must maintain a list of law enforcement agencies using automated license plate readers, including locations of any fixed stationary automated license plate readers. Except to the extent that the law enforcement agency determines that the location of a specific reader is security information, as defined in section 13.37, this list is accessible to the public and must be available on the bureau's Web site. A determination that the location of a reader is security information is subject to in camera judicial review, as provided in section 13.08, subdivision 4.

The chief law enforcement officer of every state and local law enforcement agency shall establish and enforce a written policy governing automated license plate readers. A law enforcement agency that does not comply with this section must not use an automated license plate reader.

"Public benefits" include health, safety and other environmental benefits, blight reduction including the property's potential for improved economic vitality, functionality and aesthetics, community stabilization, crime reduction, reduced maintenance costs, and the potential for future development. In making this judgment, the commissioner shall consider the following:

(1) the extent to which the existing property conditions threaten public safety;

(2) the length of vacancy of the property;

(3) the development potential of the property;

(4) the proximity of the property to existing sufficient public infrastructure; and

(5) the applicant's financial condition and ability to repay the loan.
