> Importantly, the definition of “public agency” is limited to state or local agencies, including law
enforcement agencies, and does not include out-of-state or federal law enforcement agencies. (See Civ.
Information Bulletin 2023-DLE-06
Code, § 1798.90.5, subd. (f).) Accordingly, SB 34 does not permit California LEAs to share ALPR information
with private entities or out-of-state or federal agencies, including out-of-state and federal law enforcement
agencies. This prohibition applies to ALPR database(s) that LEAs access through private or public vendors
who maintain ALPR information collected from multiple databases and/or public agencies.
> Existing law prohibits the department from selling the data or from making the data available to an agency that is not a law enforcement agency or an individual that is not a law enforcement officer.
> “Public agency” means the state, any city, county, or city and county, or any agency or political subdivision of the state or a city, county, or city and county, including, but not limited to, a law enforcement agency.
Notably: Not federal. My link to the AG's memo quotes this.
Yes. I am not disagreeing with you that they have narrowed down the definition of law enforcement agency. My comment actually links to the section the AG is quoting.
