Summary

Existing law authorizes a business to scan or swipe a driver's license or identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles in any electronic device for prescribed verification and informational purposes. Existing law prohibits a business that swipes a driver's license or identification card in an electronic device from retaining or using that information for any other purpose. A violation of those provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would prohibit a business from scanning or swiping a driver's license or identification card, except for specified purposes, and would prohibit the information used, collected, or disclosed pursuant to specified exceptions from being retained by the business for longer than 24 or 72 hours as provided. The bill would vest the Attorney General, any district attorney, and any city attorney with the duty to bring an action for violation of these provisions, including equity proceedings to restrain and enjoin a violation or prosecution of misdemeanor actions. Because this bill would increase the duties of local officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
