Department of Motor Vehicles: records: confidentiality.

Abstract

(1) Existing law prohibits the disclosure of the home addresses of certain public employees and officials that appear in any records of the Department of Motor Vehicles, except to a court, a law enforcement agency, an attorney in a civil or criminal action under certain circumstances, and certain other official entities. Existing law prohibits the disclosure of the home address of the spouse or child of those specified public employees and officials, and of the surviving spouse or child of a peace officer who died in the line of duty. This bill would allow disclosure of the home addresses of those spouses, surviving spouses, or children if they were convicted of a crime and are on active parole or probation. The bill would require the person requesting confidentiality for their spouse or child, on or after January 1, 2011, to declare, at the time the request is made, whether their spouse or child has been convicted of a crime and is on active parole or probation. The bill would specify that neither the department nor the listed person's employer is required to verify or be responsible for verifying that the specified person was convicted of a crime and on active parole or probation. (2) Existing law requires the commissioner of the California Highway Patrol, for the purpose of conducting criminal history and driver history screening of tow truck drivers and employers to utilize the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) to conduct preliminary criminal history checks. This bill would delete this requirement. Existing law requires the Department of the California Highway Patrol to issue a 90-day temporary tow truck driver certificate, provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles, to applicants who have cleared, among other things, the preliminary criminal history check through CLETS. This bill instead would require the department to issue the 90-day temporary tow truck driver certificate to applicants who have cleared, among other things, a criminal history check through the Department of Justice.
