The New Jersey State Bar Association recommends amendments to A-4723/S-2740, which would require motor vehicle dealers to offer to delete personal information in motor vehicles in certain situations.
The Association supports the aim of this bill as an important step in protecting the privacy rights of consumers by imposing an obligation upon automobile dealers that take ownership and/or possession of used automobiles to remove personally identifiable information (PII). To the extent that there are opportunities to strengthen consumer privacy, including notification to the consumer, providing timelines for removal of PII and other such protections, the Association remains committed to pursuing them.
For the reasons set forth above, the New Jersey State Bar Association supports the A-4723/S-2740 and looks forward to strengthening consumer protections moving forward.
