Bill > A00061

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to allow the commissioner of motor vehicles to enter into contracts with private companies or public entities to provide specific types of driver's license and operating record information. Under this proposed legislation, the department can share limited driver record details, including license number, state of issuance, violation dates, summons numbers, violation descriptions, disposition information, and scofflaw status. The bill specifies that the standard fees for record copies will not apply to records furnished through these contracts. Additionally, the bill requires that any recipient of such information must first sign a written agreement to comply with the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994, which helps protect individual privacy by regulating the disclosure of personal motor vehicle records. This provision ensures that sensitive driver information is shared only under controlled circumstances and with appropriate legal safeguards.
