Existing law prohibits the Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles from releasing any information relating to legal presence or any other information relating to or describing immigration status, nationality or citizenship from a file or record relating to a request for or the issuance of a license, identification card or title or registration of a vehicle for any purpose relating to the enforcement of immigration laws. (NRS 481.063) This bill revises this prohibition by instead prohibiting the Director from releasing any personal information for any purpose relating to the enforcement of immigration laws unless: (1) the requester submits a written release from the person about whom the information is requested; or (2) the Director releases the personal information pursuant to an order, subpoena or warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. This bill prohibits the Director, when responding to such an order, subpoena or warrant, from releasing personal information beyond what is specifically required to comply with the order, subpoena or warrant.
