SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Scanning information from driver's license. Prohibits any merchant in the Commonwealth from scanning the machine-readable zone of an individual's Department of Motor Vehicles-issued identification card or driver's license, except to (i) verify authenticity of the identification card or driver's license or to verify the identity of the individual if the individual pays for goods or services with a method other than cash, returns an item, or requests a refund or an exchange; (ii) verify the individual's age in certain circumstances; (iii) prevent fraud or other criminal activity if the individual returns an item or requests a refund or an exchange and the merchant uses a fraud prevention service company or system; (iv) record, retain, or transmit information as required by state or federal law; (v) provide information to a regulated check services company; or (vi) complete a transaction permitted under certain federal statutes. Similar restrictions are imposed on a merchant's ability to retain or sell information obtained from such a scan. A person aggrieved by a violation may bring an action to recover damages of $100 per violation, reasonable attorney fees, and court costs. This bill is identical to HB 1072.
