# States Restrict License Plate Camera Programs

State governments are increasing scrutiny of automated license plate reader deployments through legislation and executive action. Texas is ending state funding for Flock Safety cameras, while Florida has directed the Florida Department of Transportation to remove cameras; bills are also advancing in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon. The signal identifies no solicitation, contract value, or procurement contact, but the actions create potential funding, deployment, and contract-change risks for agencies and camera providers.

- Agencies and contractors involved in camera deployments should assess how funding changes or removal directives could affect existing equipment, services, and contract obligations, particularly in Texas and Florida.
- Flock Safety and other providers may face changes to state-funded deployments as legislative proposals and executive actions alter the operating environment.
- Procurement teams evaluating automated license plate reader systems should account for state-level differences in policy and funding when planning purchases or renewals.
