Bill > A00770

This bill prohibits the disclosure of highway, bridge, tunnel, and other thoroughfare toll records, as well as commuter railroad and transit records, to protect privacy, unless necessary for law enforcement functions or to further another public entity's official functions. It defines key terms such as "electronic toll information," "electronic fare information," and "public entity," and outlines specific circumstances under which such information can be accessed, such as via a search warrant or subpoena. The bill also requires public entities to provide regular and conspicuous notice to account holders about the confidentiality provisions, and imposes a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for knowingly releasing confidential information.
