Interim study of personal data sharing by DOT

LC 3255 is a joint resolution requesting an interim study of how Montana’s Department of Transportation (DOT) shares personal information from driver records. The study will examine why data is shared, what specific information is disclosed, who receives it, privacy impacts on Montanans, and whether the sharing generates revenue for the DOT. The resolution requires the Legislative Council to complete the study by September 15, 2026, and report findings to the 70th Legislature. This resolution does not change current law but seeks to understand existing data-sharing practices under Montana’s Driver Privacy Protection Act.
