Michigan
Not yet retrieved. Occupancy is listed. An ALPR-named highway form is not. Empty is honest. Do not fill it in from another state.
- Highway system Primary
- State trunk line highway system: all roads, streets, and highways made state trunk line highways under the laws of this state (MCL 247.651(1), Act 51 of 1951). They shall be known as state trunk line highways. This is Michigan MDOT’s trunk line, not Florida’s State Highway System and not Mississippi MDOT’s state highway system.
- Owner Primary
- Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). MCL 247.651 speaks of the director of the department. MDOT’s right-of-way construction-permits page: MDOT has regulatory authority for managing use of the state highway right of way under Public Act 200 of 1969 (Driveway, Banner and Parade Act), Public Act 368 of 1925 (Encroachment Act), and Public Act 106 of 1972 (Highway Advertising Act). This is Michigan MDOT (michigan.gov/mdot), not Mississippi MDOT (mdot.ms.gov), not TDOT, not ODOT, not INDOT.
- Right-of-way Not retrieved
- not packed. Michigan’s statutory ROW definition is not packed in this build. MDOT’s permits page occupies “state highway right of way.” Do not substitute Florida § 334.03(21).
- Public records Primary
- Michigan Freedom of Information Act (MCL 15.231 et seq. (Act 442 of 1976); inspection § 15.233). Who may request: All persons except those incarcerated in state or local correctional facilities (MCL 15.231(2)). Upon a written request to the FOIA coordinator that describes the public record sufficiently to enable the public body to find it, a person has a right to inspect, copy, or receive copies (MCL 15.233(1)). Request from a person other than an indigent individual must include complete name, address, and contact information.
- Open meetings Primary
- Michigan Open Meetings Act (MCL 15.261 et seq. (Act 267 of 1976))
- ALPR statute None found
- No enacted Michigan ALPR use or retention statute was retrieved as MCL or Public Act. NCSL’s 3 Feb 2022 table does not list Michigan. NYU Policing Project scorecard (Aug 2026) lists Michigan among 26 states with no ALPR-specific legislation — secondary confirmation of absence, not packed law. 2026 HB 5492 (private ALPR) and HB 5493 (governmental ALPR) are 103rd Legislature introductions, tie-barred, referred to House Judiciary 29 Jan 2026; last tracked action a Judiciary hearing 22 Apr 2026; still bills as of 1 Sept 2026 (WILX 10 Aug 2026: House bills in committee since February). 2026 SB 1131 (Runestad) introduced 29 July 2026, referred to Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety — Senate version of the House package, not enrolled. 2013 HB 4981 (registration plate reader systems; would have amended 1949 PA 300) last action printed bill filed 18 Sept 2013 — not a Public Act. MSP Official Procedure, License Plate Reader (LPR) Systems, is an MSP procedure: historical LPR data shall not be retained by the department; MOUs shall request that LPR providers not retain data from department hardware longer than 30 days. That 30-day figure is MSP’s vendor request — not a statute, not a local-agency rule, and not MDOT’s install spec. Empty beats packing a bill or an MSP manual as live statewide law.
- ROW permit Primary
- not packed as an ALPR instrument — MDOT Right-of-way construction permit (MDOT Permit Gateway). Types on the construction-permits page: Infrastructure, Vegetation and drainage control, Recreational, Rest areas, Governmental, Billboard vegetation management, Environmental. For municipalities, Form 2207B (05/21) Performance Resolution is a prerequisite to an Individual Permit for Use of State Highway Right of Way and/or an Annual Application and Permit for Miscellaneous Operations within State Highway Right of Way. None of those titles name ALPR, LPR, license-plate readers, or cameras.. Who may apply: ROW construction permits: MDOT regulates private and public entities’ use of state highway right of way; contact the local Transportation Service Center; all construction permit applications are submitted and purchased through the MDOT Permit Gateway via MiLogin. Form 2207B: a municipality (county, city, village, township, etc.) that periodically applies for permits to construct, operate, use and/or maintain utilities or other facilities, or to conduct other activities, on, over, and under State Highway Right of Way. Neither retrieved MDOT page names ALPR as a permit type. Do not import Florida GUP, Minnesota OLPA, Utah Special Use, or ODOT’s vendor-applied LPR Other Permit.. Primary occupancy only. Generic construction/ROW permit without an ALPR-named instrument — unpublished. A 2023 Bloomfield Township news item said trustees approved MDOT form 2207B so police could install Flock cameras in MDOT ROW — unofficial local reporting, not MDOT’s ALPR spec. This is Michigan MDOT (michigan.gov/mdot), not Mississippi MDOT.
HB 5492 / HB 5493 / SB 1131 are bills unless enrolled. Michigan Advance stories (2026) about MDOT/CBP ALPR placements 403’d this hunt. House Democrats’ letter about a Border Patrol MOU is not a statute and is not packed as the install instrument.

Install process in this state
No packed ALPR statute and no packed ALPR-named MDOT form. Steps below are cautions, not an install manual.
- This is Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) state trunk line right of way under MCL 247.651. Not Mississippi MDOT, not Florida’s State Highway System, not Minnesota trunk highway, not Utah UDOT ROW. Do not import FAC 14-20.010, MnDOT OLPA, UDOT Special Use, or ODOT’s vendor-as-applicant LPR form.
- No packed Michigan ALPR statute. HB 5492, HB 5493, and SB 1131 are 2026 bills, not enrolled MCL. MSP’s LPR procedure asks vendors not to retain department-hardware data longer than 30 days — that is MSP procedure, not statewide law, and not MDOT’s permit.
- MDOT’s retrieved permitting surface is Right-of-way construction permits (Permit Gateway) plus, for municipalities, Form 2207B as a prerequisite to an Individual Permit for Use of State Highway Right of Way / Annual Miscellaneous Operations permit. Those pages do not name ALPR. Empty beats calling 2207B the camera permit.
- FOIA: MCL 15.233 to a person (not incarcerated) by written request to the FOIA coordinator. Split clerk (votes), purchasing (contract), police (policy/logs), MDOT TSC / Permit Gateway (construction-permit file if one exists).
- Do not copy Johnson City, Tennessee dollar figures or camera counts, FDOT EOM 26-01, or a Border Patrol MOU into this pack as MDOT’s install spec.

Where to ask
City, township, or county FOIA coordinator / clerk
Minutes, resolutions, vote records (FOIA Act 442; Open Meetings Act 267)
Purchasing / finance
Contract, amendments, invoices
Law-enforcement agency / Michigan State Police (if MSP hardware)
Use policy; LPR data. MSP procedure: department does not retain historical LPR data; 30-day vendor request is MSP-only
MDOT Transportation Service Center / Permit Gateway
Right-of-way construction permit file and Form 2207B performance resolution if a municipality applied — ALPR is not a named type on the retrieved pages
Michigan has no packed statewide ALPR-use or retention statute as of 1 Sept 2026.
Supported as a none-found hunt (NCSL 2022; 2026 HB 5492/5493 and SB 1131 still bills; 2013 HB 4981 not a PA). Scorecard is secondary. Enactment after retrieval day is Unproven. Do not pack MSP’s 30-day vendor request as MCL.
Michigan currently requires destruction of governmental captured plate data at 30 days.
MSP’s LPR procedure asks providers not to retain data from department hardware longer than 30 days. That is MSP procedure, not a statute, and not a rule for every Michigan LEA. HB 5493’s proposed 14-day clock is a bill.
MDOT Form 2207B is the named instrument for placing ALPR in state trunk line right of way.
2207B is a municipal performance resolution required before a general Individual Permit / Annual Miscellaneous Operations permit. It does not name ALPR. A township news item is unofficial. Construction-permit types on MDOT’s page also do not name ALPR.
2026 HB 5492 / HB 5493 (or SB 1131) is Michigan’s enacted ALPR statute.
Introduced bills, tie-barred House package, Senate counterpart still in committee as of August 2026. Not enrolled, not a Public Act, not MCL. Packing them as law would be wrong.
