This bill restricts the use of information related to motor vehicle registration maintained by the department of transportation and county treasurers. Under current law, the records systems maintained by the department of transportation and each county treasurer’s office contain information related to vehicle registration, including information related to the vehicle, the vehicle owner, and security interests attached to the vehicle. The bill prohibits a person from using the information contained in these records systems for any marketing or promotional activity. The bill provides that a person who violates this provision commits a simple misdemeanor. A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855.
