Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDThe department can no longer sell or share personal information from a motor vehicle record, or an email address it collected from a driver, with a marketing firm, debt collector, insurance company, or data broker.
The same ban applies to sharing that information with a 'foreign country of concern' or a 'foreign principal' -- categories defined by cross-reference to a separate Florida statute on foreign-adversary interests.
Using or releasing Driver and Vehicle Information Database records for an unauthorized purpose is a noncriminal infraction carrying up to a $2,000 fine, and that penalty now explicitly names a third-party company as a covered violator, not just an individual.
