        AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law,  in  relation  to  allowing
          disclosures in furtherance of the enforcement of state law

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

     1    Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 12 of section 201 of the vehi-
     2  cle and traffic law, as added by chapter 37 of  the  laws  of  2019,  is
     3  amended to read as follows:
     4    (a)  Except as required for the commissioner to issue or renew a driv-
     5  er's license or learner's permit that meets federal standards for  iden-
     6  tification,  the  commissioner, and any agent or employee of the commis-
     7  sioner, shall not disclose or make accessible in any manner  records  or
     8  information  that  he  or  she  maintains,  to any agency that primarily
     9  enforces immigration law or to any employee or  agent  of  such  agency,
    10  unless:  (i)  the commissioner is presented with a lawful court order or
    11  judicial warrant signed by a judge appointed pursuant to article III  of
    12  the  United  States  constitution; or (ii) the employee or agent of such
    13  agency is solely enforcing state law or federal  criminal  law  and  not
    14  immigration  law.  Upon receiving a request for such records or informa-
    15  tion from an agency that primarily enforces immigration law, the commis-
    16  sioner shall, no later than three days after such  request,  notify  the
    17  individual  about  whom  such  information was requested, informing such
    18  individual of the request and the identity of the agency that made  such
    19  request unless such notification would interfere with a federal criminal
    20  investigation.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
