Bill > A02370

This bill repeals the Driver's License Access and Privacy Act, effectively removing several provisions that previously protected certain personal information for non-commercial driver's license and learner's permit holders. The bill eliminates previous restrictions on public access to personal details such as photo images, social security numbers, addresses, place of birth, employment information, and other sensitive data. It modifies application requirements for driver's licenses, maintaining provisions for organ donation registration and selective service compliance for applicants aged 18-26. The bill restores broader public access to driver's license records and removes special privacy protections that were previously in place for non-commercial license holders. Specifically, it repeals subdivisions in the vehicle and traffic law that limited public inspection of personal information, reinstates more standard record-keeping practices, and removes alternative identification mechanisms that were previously allowed for individuals without social security numbers. The changes aim to standardize driver's license application and record-keeping processes, effectively rolling back privacy protections that were implemented in previous legislation.
