Concerning the disclosure of vessel owner information.

Summary

  • Establishes that vessel record information is treated in the same way as motor vehicle record information for purposes of vessel information disclosure.
  • Indentifies entities that may enter into contracts to receive lists of vessel owners.
  • Requires provisions in the information disclosure contract that require the Department of Licensing (DOL) or its agents to conduct regular permissible use and data security audits.
  • Requires that the DOL charge fees for lists of vessel owners requested by private entities, and base the rates on the amount of records requested.
  • Provides that business entities may request the name and address of individual vessel owners for use in the course of business from the DOL with a disclosure agreement and provides penalties for using information for other purposes than is stated in the disclosure agreement.
  • Establishes a $2 fee for each vessel record provided to a business entity and states that the fee be deposited into the Highway Safety Account.
