Amend the bill by striking out the title and substituting the following:
‘An Act To Prohibit the Sharing of Certain Personal Information by the Department of the Secretary of State’
Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1.  29-A MRSA §251, sub-§4  is enacted to read:
 
4.  Confidentiality of e-mail addresses.    If a person submits an e-mail address as part of the application process for a license or registration under this Title, the e-mail address is confidential and may not be disclosed to anyone outside the Department of the Secretary of State except for law enforcement officers or for purposes of court proceedings.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment, which replaces the bill, narrows the scope and requires e-mail addresses provided by applicants for licenses and motor vehicle registrations to the Department of the Secretary of State to be kept confidential. The e-mail addresses may not be disclosed outside the department except to law enforcement officers or for court proceedings.
