FACTS FROM THE HOUSE RECORD AND CONGRESS.GOV, NOT FROM COVERAGE
NO FLOCK Act
States set rules for how automated license plate readers may be used. The bill would require states to limit those uses to specified toll, vehicle, missing-person, and felony-related purposes or lose part of their federal surface transportation funding. The funding penalty would begin after the bill’s specified waiting period.
