District of Columbia

Not a state. Council is the legislature. § 50-2443 is an LPRS usage/privacy rulemaking statute, not District-wide removal.

ALPR statute
D.C. Code § 50-2443 (D.C. Law 25-325 / B25-0435, Act 25-695, eff. May 2, 2025; Act Sec. 113) — Mayor shall issue LPRS usage, privacy, security, and sharing rules. LPRS defined at § 50-2431(8). Not a collection ban. No numeric retention cap. No warrant-for-query. D.C. Law 26-120 (temp., eff. May 21, 2026) struck Sec. 113 from the subject-to-appropriations list, so the section is presently applicable. Finding Flock’s 19-state table omits DC.
