Plain-language change summary

The amended version of Senate Bill No. 371 includes several important changes. First, it continues the Department of Motor Vehicles' pilot program to collect data on vehicle mileage but now exempts recreational vehicles from the requirement for their owners to report odometer readings during registration processes. Additionally, the bill strengthens privacy protections by prohibiting the Department from sharing personal information with insurers, which matters because it helps keep drivers' personal data more secure. These changes aim to streamline the data collection process while enhancing privacy for vehicle owners.
