Bill > HB60

This bill amends Delaware's motor vehicle data privacy laws to enhance protections for personal information held by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The bill significantly restricts the disclosure of sensitive personal data, including social security numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, and citizenship or immigration status. Under the new provisions, such information can only be shared for specific purposes: voter registration, with the Delaware Attorney General's approval, via a valid court order, or when explicitly authorized by state law. The bill adds new requirements for entities requesting motor vehicle records, mandating they sign contracts acknowledging their responsibility to protect personal information and explicitly prohibiting its use for civil immigration enforcement. Additionally, the bill strengthens confidentiality provisions for driving privilege cards issued to individuals who cannot provide proof of legal presence in the United States, ensuring that personal identifiable information collected during the application process remains confidential and cannot be shared with federal agencies without specific Attorney General approval or a court order. Violations of these privacy protections can result in civil penalties, including actual and punitive damages, and potential misdemeanor criminal charges.
