## Summary

**Federal funding ban on covered camera systems** that capture license plates, vehicle traits, or biometric identifiers. The bill prohibits federal dollars for buying, leasing, installing, operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing, upgrading, or supporting these camera systems or any associated component, including hardware, software, cloud services, networks, and data analysis. - Government agencies and recipients: Federal agencies and any state, local, or Tribal recipients and subrecipients must decommission or stop operating covered camera systems funded with federal dollars within 180 days. If a recipient uses federal funds for a prohibited purpose, further federal funds can be withheld until the Treasury is reimbursed for the amount spent. - Vendors and service providers: No federal funds may pay for contracts or arrangements to install, manage, maintain, access, or analyze data from covered camera systems. "Associated component" covers algorithms, databases, cloud storage, networks, and biometric processing. - Narrow exceptions: Systems within 1 mile of the northern or southern border used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection or law enforcement under a written CBP agreement for border security are allowed. Federal highway tolling funds may be used for toll collection if the data are used solely for toll-related purposes.
