Bill S.150, introduced by Senator Vyhovsky, aims to enhance privacy protections for individuals using mobile identification and to restrict access to images captured by automated traffic law enforcement systems. The bill amends existing laws to define key terms such as "attribute authentication," which allows verification of specific data without revealing the underlying information, and "selective disclosure," which permits the release of only necessary data fields from a mobile identification. It establishes that the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles can issue mobile identifications alongside traditional credentials, ensuring that users maintain control over their data and that access to this information requires the holder's consent.

Additionally, the bill imposes strict limitations on the use of recorded images from automated traffic law enforcement systems, stating that such images can only be accessed for specific enforcement purposes and must remain confidential, exempt from public records requests. It also outlines enforcement mechanisms, allowing the Attorney General to take action against violations and providing individuals with the right to seek damages for breaches of their privacy. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
