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. _____ 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. Also under current law, a criminal or juvenile justice agency is authorized to redisseminate arrest data, and the name, photograph, physical description, and other identifying information, concerning a person who is wanted or being sought if a warrant for the arrest of that person has been issued. This bill authorizes a criminal or juvenile justice agency to redisseminate personal information that is in the form of a person’s photograph or digital image or a digital reproduction of a person’s photograph obtained from the DOT pursuant to current law of (1) a missing person or (2) a person identified in a missing person report involving an unemancipated minor where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the person is involved with the minor’s disappearance.
