SIMILAR PLANS NARROWLY PASSED BY HUNTINGTON, WVA CITY COUNCIL HAS RESIDENTS READY TO RIOT OVER FEAR OF FUTURE OF THEIR RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED
AUGUST 19, 2026 – written by WADE QUEEN
A new Kentucky law allows banks and other financial institutions to access data collected by automated license plate readers, commonly associated with systems such as Flock cameras, showing where and when a vehicle was captured.
House Bill 58, which took effect July 15, created KRS 189.632. Captured data can include GPS coordinates, timestamps, photographs, plate numbers and vehicle descriptions.
While the new law generally restricts sharing of this data, it creates an exception allowing financial institutions, their agents or successors to access it for collateral recovery, lien enforcement, recovery of defaulted funds or verification of information on a loan application.
Beginning January 1, 2027, financing applicants must be notified of the potential use of license plate reader data. The law does not require that notification for qualifying agreements, applications or consent occurring before that date.
The financial-institution provision was not included in HB 58 as originally introduced. It was added through House Committee Substitute 1.
During a House Judiciary Committee discussion, the bill’s sponsor, House Representative John Hodgson, gave an example of someone claiming a vehicle was in Florida when it was actually in New York.
“They want the ability to know that,” Representative John Hodgson said.
The law also places restrictions on license plate reader use, including a general 90-day data retention limit with exceptions.
