AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to prohibit the use of toll collection technology, such as RFID transponders, to identify the location of vehicles for purposes other than charging and collecting tolls. It also prohibits the sharing of any data derived from such toll collection technology, including GPS coordinates, location, date and time, speed, license plate, etc., with law enforcement without a valid warrant. Any data obtained in violation of these provisions would be inadmissible in criminal or civil proceedings, except in certain limited circumstances. The bill also provides for civil actions and penalties for violations of these provisions, and considers any such improper use of the data as a violation of the state's consumer protection laws.
