HF 2123: Authorizing a criminal or juvenile justice agency to redisseminate driver’s license photos in missing persons cases, and including effective date provisions

What it does

Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is prohibited from releasing personal information that is in the form of a person’s photograph or digital image or a digital reproduction of a person’s photograph. However, the DOT is authorized to share such information with an officer or employee of a law enforcement agency, an employee of a federal or state agency or political subdivision in the performance of the employee’s official duties, a contract employee of the department of inspections and appeals in the conduct of an investigation, or a licensed private investigation agency or a licensed security service, regardless of whether a person has provided express written consent to disclosure of the information.
