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 terms related to mobile identification, such as "attribute authentication" and "selective disclosure," and establishes that the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles can issue mobile identifications alongside traditional nonmobile credentials. It mandates that any verification system for mobile identifications must ensure user consent for data access, maintain the confidentiality of the data, and not allow law enforcement to take physical possession of the device used for mobile identification.

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 violations within a 12-month period and are exempt from public records requests. The legislation also includes provisions for civil enforcement, allowing individuals to seek damages for violations of their privacy rights related to mobile identification. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
