Title: | SCS SB 287 | |||
Effective Date: | August 28, 2001 | |||
SCS/SB 287 - Under this act, the Department of Revenue shall
not release information contained in its motor vehicle or driver
registration records regarding a peace officer. A peace officer
can notify the Department of Revenue to request that his or her
records be held in private. The current law only protects
county, state, or federal parole officers and federal pretrial
officers. The act extends the confidentiality to members of the
officer's immediate family and allows the Department of Revenue
to release the information if the officer has a commercial
driver's license.
