What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill regulates the use of vehicle data recorders (VDRs) in motor vehicles.

This bill prohibits, with certain exceptions, any person from accessing,

collecting, or transferring information stored on a VDR installed in a motor vehicle

unless the person discloses the intended use of the information and receives the

consent of an owner of the vehicle. A person who violates the disclosure requirements

or the prohibition on access, collection, or transfer of VDR information may be

required to forfeit not less than $200 nor more than $2,000.

Also under this bill, the Department of Transportation must require a

statement as to whether the vehicle is equipped with a VDR to be displayed on any

guide DOT requires to be displayed on used motor vehicles displayed or offered for

sale by a motor vehicle dealer.
