AN ACT
To repeal sections 32.056 and 301.146, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof two new sections relating to the confidentiality of motor vehicle and driver registration records.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Sections 32.056 and 301.146, RSMo, are repealed and two new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 32.056 and 301.146, to read as follows:
32.056. The department of revenue shall not release the home address or any other information contained in the department's motor vehicle or driver registration records regarding any person, and the immediate family members of any such person, who is a county, state or federal parole officer or who is a federal pretrial officer or who is a peace officer pursuant to section [590.100, RSMo, or a member of the parole officer's, pretrial officer's or peace officer's immediate family] 590.010, or those persons vested by article V, section 1 of the Constitution of Missouri with the judicial power of the state and those persons vested by Article III of the Constitution of the United States with the judicial power of the United States, the members of the federal judiciary, based on a specific request for such information from any person. Any person [who is a county, state or federal parole officer or who is a federal pretrial officer or who is a peace officer pursuant to section 590.100, RSMo,] with a current status covered by this section may notify the department of such status and the department shall protect the confidentiality of the records on such a person and his or her immediate family as required by this section. This section shall not prohibit the department from releasing information on a motor registration list pursuant to section 32.055 or from releasing information on any officer who holds a class A, B or C commercial driver's license pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, as amended, 49 U.S.C. 31309.
301.146. 1. Any federal, state, county or municipal law enforcement or public safety agency, or those persons vested by article V, section 1 of the Constitution of Missouri with the judicial power of the state and those persons vested by Article III of the Constitution of the United States with the judicial power of the United States, the members of the federal judiciary, may request the issuance of special license plates and drivers licenses. Upon receipt of such a request, the director of revenue shall determine whether or not the special license plates and drivers licenses are to be used for a legitimate law enforcement or public safety purpose and if he so determines then the director of revenue shall issue the special license plates and drivers licenses subject to such conditions as he shall decide, in a form prescribed by the advisory committee established in section 301.129, except that such license plates shall be made with fully reflective material with a common color scheme and design, shall be clearly visible at night, and shall be aesthetically attractive, as prescribed by section 301.130. All decisions of the director of revenue relating to the special law enforcement or public safety license plates or drivers licenses shall be final.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, records pertaining to the request for, issuance of, retention of or disposal of special license plates and drivers licenses issued for law enforcement or public safety purposes as provided for in this section shall not be subject to public disclosure and shall be held by the department of revenue in such a way as to keep these records confidential.
