Understanding the Permissible and Impermissible Uses of Personal Information Under The Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (“DPPA”) to Ensure Compliance with Open Records Laws and avoid Municipality Liability

Description: Despite the passage of a decade and a trio of court rulings, a local government’s obligation to disclose certain records containing “personal information” in compliance with the federal Drivers Privacy Protection Act (“DPPA”) and Wisconsin’s public records law remains somewhat unclear. Adding to that confusion— the DPPA provides substantial potential civil penalties for violations.  In this presentation, we will explore the Acts’s purpose, application and explore best practices for obtaining, using, and disclosing information protected by the DPPA.
