Bill > SB0414

This bill modifies Indiana's Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) regulations regarding the sale of personal information, introducing new restrictions and protections. Specifically, the BMV is now prohibited from selling personal information belonging to individuals who are under 21 years old, over 65 years old, or who choose to opt out of such sales. The bill requires the BMV to provide a clear and easily accessible method for individuals to opt out of having their personal information sold. Additionally, any authorized recipient of personal information is now restricted from selling, reselling, disclosing, or redisclosing personal information for certain protected individuals. The bill also allows the state board of finance, with the governor's approval, to transfer funds to the BMV to offset any potential funding shortfalls resulting from these new sales restrictions, with this provision valid for state fiscal years before July 1, 2027. These changes aim to enhance personal privacy and provide more control to individuals over the use of their motor vehicle-related personal information, while still maintaining provisions for legitimate uses such as government functions, safety investigations, and certain business verification processes.
