Summary

Existing law requires the residence address in a record of the Department of Motor Vehicles to be kept confidential, with specified exceptions. One exception applies to an insurance company when the company requests the information for the purpose of obtaining the address of another motorist or vehicle owner involved in an accident with the company's insured. This bill would expand this exception to include an authorized contractor acting on behalf of an insurance company pursuant to a contractual agreement. This bill would require that, among other things, all information obtained from the department by an authorized contractor of an insurance company be subject to the use or disclosure limitations and data security requirements that exist for any principal under applicable state and federal law. The bill would require an insurance company to be responsible for any misuse of the information by the contractor. The bill would also subject the contractor to, among other things, the requirement that the information obtained from the department be destroyed once the contractor has used the information for the authorized purpose.
