The 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. Key provisions include the establishment of definitions related to mobile identification, such as "attribute authentication" and "selective disclosure," which ensure that personal data is verified without revealing sensitive information. The bill mandates that the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles can issue mobile identifications that allow for both full and limited profiles, while also ensuring that access to verification systems requires the consent of the mobile identification holder.

Additionally, the bill imposes strict limitations on the use and retention 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 inspection. The legislation also outlines enforcement mechanisms, allowing the Attorney General or a State's Attorney to take action against violations, and provides individuals with the right to seek damages for any breaches of their privacy rights. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
