BL2022-1114 is an ordinance on third reading “amending Section 13.08.080 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws pertaining to the use of license plate scanner (LPR) technology to add a definition of “personally identifiable information.'”
The Tennessee Star previously reported that councilmembers Bob Mendes and Erin Evans filed the ordinance, which amends Section 13.08.080 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws pertaining to the use of license plate reader (LPR) technology to change the way personally identifiable information is defined.
“Personally identifiable information” or “PII” shall mean any representation of information that permits the identity of an individual to whom the information applies to be reasonably inferred by either direct or indirect means. Further, PII is defined as information: (i) that directly identifies an individual (e.g., name, address, social security number or other identifying number or code, telephone number, email address, etc.) or (ii) by which any governmental department or agency intends to identify specific individuals in conjunction with other data elements, i.e., indirect identification. (These data elements may include a combination of gender, race, birth date, and other descriptors). Additionally, information permitting the physical or online contacting of a specific individual is the same as personally identifiable information. This definition includes information that is maintained in either paper, electronic or other media.
This ordinance went through first and second reading without any significant discussion.
