election.

The governor said he had no announcement on that today.

Flock cameras could soon have to delete license plate data after 90 days, and it may become illegal for pedestrians to linger in State right of ways.

Those are some of the bills that were awarded final passage in the Senate today.

Our Mackenzie Spink continues tonight's legislative update.

[MUSIC] >> House Bill 58 addresses automated license plate readers or Alpers Alpers are used by the transportation cabinet as well as private businesses.

Flock is the brand name for the Alpr used by law enforcement across Kentucky under House Bill 58.

All these entities would be mandated with protecting the private data these cameras collect.

>> The main purpose of this bill, Mr.

President, is to make sure that this information that's collected by these cameras and law enforcement and other folks is not sold.

>> License plate data would have to be deleted after 90 days under this bill, with the exception of data collected by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

Senator Higdon says the cabinet needs the information collected at toll booths and weigh stations for longer than 90 days.

Senator Brandon Smith was one of the three no votes on the bill.

He had questions about how the bill affected foreign companies.

>> People have been concerned in the past about programs like this that gather information for good, bad or indifferent, but that it was collected by an agency outside of the United States boundaries.

Is there a surety to all of our constituents that this is a American company and not a company that's outside of our borders, that could use this information somehow outside the scope of what we would wish?

Chairman.

>> This regulation would would apply to anyone who had a camera, these cameras and collecting information in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

House Bill 189 also passed the Senate today.

It would prohibit a person from remaining on a state maintained right of way that is not designated for pedestrian use.

Proponents say the measure will help protect pedestrians.

>> Pedestrians face serious safety risks in State, maintain rights of way that are not designed for foot traffic.

In fact, in our area, we've had two pedestrians that have been killed.

Being in those areas does not prohibit, does not prohibit pedestrian use of sidewalks, crosswalks, transit stops or other designated pedestrian areas.

>> Some opponents disagree with the interpretation that sidewalk use will not be affected.

Two Democrats voiced concerns about how this bill could negatively affect Kentuckians that are homeless.

>> Under my reading of this bill, someone could be cited if they are on a sidewalk when they're not sort of moving along actively, or if someone is standing adjacent to a sidewalk in a grassy area.

>> How does this affect homeless people?

Somebody who is sleeping adjacent to a road?

Does this mean they are not allowed to be there?

>> House Bill 189 passed 31 to 6.

This was also its final passage, along with House Bill 58, and both bills will now head to the governor's desk for either his signature or his
