The bill introduces a new section, 321.11B, which restricts the release of personal information related to traffic violations captured by out-of-state traffic cameras. It mandates that individuals requesting such information from the Department of Transportation (DOT) or law enforcement agencies must affirm the reason for their request, with penalties for perjury applicable. The bill specifically prohibits the release of personal information if it would be used to issue or collect fines for traffic violations observed by cameras outside of Iowa, while still allowing for the release of information in cases of other criminal or civil investigations.

Additionally, the bill outlines the consequences for violating these provisions. A person who knowingly provides false information in their request could face a class D felony, which carries a potential penalty of up to five years of confinement and fines ranging from $1,025 to $10,245. Conversely, unauthorized release of personal information by the DOT or law enforcement personnel is classified as a simple misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days of confinement and fines between $105 and $855. This legislation aims to protect the privacy of individuals regarding out-of-state traffic violations while maintaining the integrity of law enforcement investigations.
