Enrolled Bill Summary

            Senate Bill 1069 amends state law to implement the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994 and specify the uses for which, and circumstances in which, information from motor vehicle records must or may be disclosed by a state agency. The legislation provides for the opportunity, including at the time of driver's license issuance or renewal, for a person to prohibit disclosure of information. Absent such prohibition, certain disclosures are permissible for marketing purposes or other requestors, except that personal information may not be disseminated or published on the Internet without the consent of the person to whom it pertains. Also, the act restricts access to certain dispatch logs, towing records, and 9-1-1 information in a manner similar to existing restrictions on motor vehicle accident reports. Additional provisions relate to fingerprint disclosure, the resale of information from motor vehicle records, civil actions and criminal penalties, and other matters.
