John Johnson, assistant general counsel for the Transportation Cabinet, told the committee the rules included 601 KAR 23:50, which would let the cabinet use technological tools to examine certificates of title rather than relying solely on manual review. Johnson described an off-road-vehicle pilot-program extension to July 2027 and an amendment to the definition of \"local government.\" He said a weight/mass regulation was revised to match statutory language and that a regulation adopting references in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) was on the agenda.

Nathan Goins, assistant general counsel in the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, and a Kentucky State Police staff member discussed an emergency regulation, 502KR10120E, that implemented a federal change in the TSA fee tied to hazardous-material endorsement threat-security assessments. Goins said the federal guidance arrived late in the federal rulemaking timeline, requiring an emergency regulation to ensure state rules matched the federal fee change.

Representative Smith asked whether the title-examination regulation covered rebuilt titles. Johnson replied his understanding was that it \"includes all titles.\" The committee recorded its review of the regulations and closed the agenda items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Standing Committee on Transportation (2-18-25)","oneSentenceSummary","The House Transportation Committee reviewed and entered into the record several Transportation Cabinet regulations and a Kentucky State Police emergency regulation, including a move to allow technological examination of vehicle titles and an extension of an off-road-vehicle pilot to July 2027.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature KY, Kentucky","taxId",77680,"location","Kentucky","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6325753,"Committee advances bill to clarify drive-away plate rules after business testimony on high premiums",298,438000,736000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2331254-73801519780cf1afc8b2f0ed12b44347&start=438&end=736","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2331254-73801519780cf1afc8b2f0ed12b44347/thumbnail_438000.jpg","/articles/6325753/Kentucky/Committee-advances-bill-to-clarify-drive-away-plate-rules-after-business-testimony-on-high-premiums","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6325753-a05cbdad92c2e5e37c5bf6b213ac4a28/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156623&Signature=djQ1~~KthMVAkrj~DCuNMEdNZmGnDPiJeDzOaD-lyyZoJWsM1Icywu9b69N3-BmCcilonMnZmCAl~acbFonCU4POXrpC0FVY34Sr8w00THapNND57supsiBVFpgzM0t4rU3u485Ic0IP1YSEoPenVJDYNxbqEecoAhk-yzyrMbe4RVutHja36yDaV-oVKhfMN8v3KL4~Cpg4JQ1CcdESA2SHpUbS48dVAJnEJxYLlYoziry~NwpmbydJ6cDvkHdT-J4d20wRLT~iQkw2tgxd9vHC~0DZd-GrjsfC89dsjVUl-lapY5qMniskL02wYWJa2UOgKCVm-GzRfUFwjjz-vQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Transportation Committee reported House Bill 188 with a favorable recommendation to the House floor after testimony from Representative Robert Duvall and statements from a business owner cited in the sponsor's written material.

Representative Robert Duvall, R., described the bill as clarifying how many vehicles a drive-away company may have on the road at once and allowing those businesses to purchase a number of plates that matches that maximum. He said the change is intended to reduce insurance exposure and lower premiums for companies that transport vehicles over long distances.

Duvall told the committee a Warren County business closed in April 2024 partly because Kentucky law was unclear, producing higher insurance costs. He said the company faced annual premiums of about $300,000 in Kentucky compared with about $120,000 in surrounding states because insurers treated the firms as exposed to greater risk under current interpretations.

The sponsor said House Bill 188 does not affect auto-dealer tags and does not apply to vehicles transported on trailers or semitrailers by the full-mount method; he is preparing a floor amendment to make those exclusions explicit.

Duvall read a letter from Oakley Michelle Vaughn, a business owner affected by the issue: \"The outcome of your decision will determine the future of our business... The best thing you can do is register your business in either Indiana or Tennessee and I can probably help you,\" the letter said, as read by Duvall.

After brief questions and no further debate, the committee conducted a roll call and the chair reported House Bill 188 out of committee with a favorable recommendation to the House floor.","House Bill 188 would let vehicle transport companies buy plates to cover a fixed, maximum number of vehicles in transit to reduce insurance exposure; sponsor said the change aims to keep businesses in Kentucky after one company cited outsized premiums.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6325758,"Committee backs bill to limit license-plate reader data retention, ban certain trackers",309,141000,450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2331254-73801519780cf1afc8b2f0ed12b44347&start=141&end=450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2331254-73801519780cf1afc8b2f0ed12b44347/thumbnail_141000.jpg","/articles/6325758/Kentucky/Committee-backs-bill-to-limit-license-plate-reader-data-retention-ban-certain-trackers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6325758-a4e606855d5b104f93f9acbe5732b495/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156624&Signature=I0lBpGj3~FQJ46~wnwxQRGuT8xqNNhiyuRpnpkZhcpsCC6MzIZ72WtSscUBclRlAEbr2qTNrgDEtMzVLIjmwOtrzYT~Cj9xcjoT2wGY5GGMhae9ES63UaX5sA2Hzq3F4SJ-LuK-~kQVDixKjoJMUxSOqYeN9l-ULf9~KGD27AEHc0VgJ2eIOUumb6RMObs-i2XPGRkwh71qx7NUh9eeQrXPsvsPa6iPi9xIxt-F2g1VtQBtSwPTCtVWd4UOjdCTP7Aa8yazgRSebsbQIT7BKQyFcPaPMulTF8uvfa2TJQlQvg2lx132Qn-HmPwr9ah98WQ1X47SynSPvaXHQN20XDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Transportation Committee reported House Bill 20 with a favorable recommendation to the full House after testimony from Representative John Hodgson and questions from committee members about enforcement and privacy protections.

Representative John Hodgson, R., said the bill would restrict how automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) and similar tracking devices collect and store location data on U.S. citizens. \"So, basically, we're trying to avoid the nonconsensual tracking of the movements of American citizens,\" Hodgson said during his remarks.

The bill would require owners of an ALPR system — typically a law-enforcement agency, as discussed in testimony — to delete stored ALPR data after 60 days and would make it illegal to sell that data outside the law-enforcement community. Hodgson told the committee the measure also targets small devices sometimes placed on vehicles or persons and subcutaneous trackers that can be used to follow people without consent.

Committee members pressed the sponsor on who would enforce the retention and sale limits. Hodgson said evidence gathered in violation of the bill would likely be excluded from criminal prosecutions under the \"poisonous tree\" doctrine and that a civil cause of action exists in the draft language; he acknowledged the bill currently does not add separate criminal penalties.

Representative Donworth asked who would ensure compliance with the 60-day deletion requirement. Hodgson replied that the ALPR owner would be responsible and said the bill would convert informal vendor practices into legal limits.

Representative Lehman noted the bill provides for civil actions by aggrieved parties but does not, at this time, add criminal penalties; he said amending the criminal code could be considered in the future.

The committee conducted a roll call vote after discussion. The committee chair reported the bill \"with favorable expression\" to the House floor.

House Bill 20 will next be scheduled for consideration by the full Kentucky House of Representatives.","The House Transportation Committee recommended House Bill 20 for passage after testimony that the bill would limit retention of automatic license plate reader data to 60 days, bar its sale outside law enforcement, and prohibit some nonconsensual tracking devices.","actionData","errors"]
