AI Summary
This bill amends Florida law to allow the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) to share certain driver license information, including images and signatures, with state agencies and specific third-party contractors, but only with the explicit consent of the driver. This access is authorized for purposes such as fraud prevention, identity verification, and ensuring the security of individual identities within the state. Third-party contractors performing identity verification services can use this information as needed for their services, but they are prohibited from keeping or selling a driver's image, signature, or data without consent, and they cannot retain location-related data. Any money generated from these agreements will be deposited into the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund, and the changes will take effect on July 1, 2026.
