Bill > H768

This bill aims to restrict the use of technology, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) transponders, used for toll collection. It prohibits using this technology to identify the location of vehicles for purposes other than charging and collecting tolls. The bill also requires a valid warrant to share or provide any data derived from toll collection technology, including GPS coordinates, date and time, photographs, license plate numbers, or other identifying information, with any entity outside the department. Any data obtained or accessed in violation of this provision would be inadmissible in criminal or civil proceedings, except for use by individuals whose rights have been violated. The bill allows aggrieved individuals to file civil actions for damages resulting from violations, with the potential for exemplary damages and attorneys' fees. Additionally, any use of data obtained in violation of the bill's provisions would be considered a violation of the state's consumer protection laws.
