 AN ACT to amend the civil rights law, in relation to privacy of elec-
 tronic fare and toll records

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Statement of legislative intent. The legislature finds and
 2 declares that public entities increasingly are establishing electronic
 3 toll and electronic fare payment systems, which have the potential for
 4 great convenience to the general public. E-Z Pass, for example, allows
 5 motorists to have toll charges automatically deducted from pre-establ-
 6 ished accounts. Programs such as these have proven popular with consum-
 7 ers. But some consumers, public officials and public entities have
 8 raised legitimate questions about the extent to which records of indi-
 9 vidual travel created by such electronic toll and fare programs should
 10 be disclosed, and under what circumstances. This bill establishes
 11 reasonable, uniform provisions for maintaining the confidentiality of
 12 such records, while at the same time authorizing disclosure in cases of
 13 legitimate law enforcement need.
 14 § 2. The civil rights law is amended by adding a new section 50-h to
 15 read as follows:
 16 § 50-h. Privacy of electronic toll and fare records. 1. Definitions.
 17 As used in this section:
 18 a. "Electronic toll information" shall mean records created or main-
 19 tained by a public entity or by a contractor on behalf of a public enti-
 20 ty concerning a motorist or motor vehicle regarding the use of any high-
 21 way, bridge, tunnel or other thoroughfare, including but not limited to
 22 E-Z Pass records, which contain information such as, but not limited to,
 23 the name and address of the registered vehicle owner or account holder,
 24 a description and/or license plate number of the vehicle, the date, time
 25 and location of the passage of a vehicle through a toll collection

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 location, and the statements of account additions and/or deductions
 2 prepared for or sent to the account holder.
 3 b. "Electronic fare information" shall mean records created or main-
 4 tained by a public entity or by a contractor on behalf of a public enti-
 5 ty concerning an account holder, including but not limited to "Metro-
 6 card" and pass card system computer records concerning commuter railroad
 7 and/or transit facility use, which contain information such as, but not
 8 limited to, the name and address of the account holder; the date and
 9 time of fare card or fare media use; identification of the location or
 10 transit station where such fare card or fare media was used; and the
 11 statements of account additions and/or deductions prepared for or sent
 12 to the account holder.
 13 c. "Public entity" shall mean and include any state or local depart-
 14 ment, agency, board, bureau, division, commission, public authority,
 15 public benefit corporation or office of the state or a political subdi-
 16 vision of the state, or any other entity performing a governmental or
 17 proprietary function for the state or any of its political subdivisions.
 18 d. "Contractor" shall mean any entity engaged in performing customer
 19 service functions, including violations processing, under contract with
 20 a public entity.
