A bill for an act limiting the release of personal information maintained by the department of transportation to out-of-state persons, and making penalties applicable.

This bill restricts Iowa's Department of Transportation (DOT) from sharing personal driver information (like name, address, or phone number) with out-of-state individuals or agencies, except in specific cases. It prohibits releasing such data to prevent out-of-state enforcement of traffic violations (e.g., fines or penalties), unless a court orders it or the driver provides written consent. Exceptions allow law enforcement, licensed investigators, or state agencies within Iowa to access the data for official duties. Violating this law is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $105-$855 fine. The bill directly affects Iowa drivers whose data could be misused by out-of-state entities and the DOT's data-sharing practices.
