(a) An authorized recipient under a bulk contract must
electronically submit an annual report, on a form prescribed by the
department, on or before October 1st of each year for the 12-month
period beginning September 1st of the preceding year.
(b) An annual report must include information regarding
any third party to which the authorized recipient redisclosed personal
information from department motor vehicle records during the reporting
period, including:
(1) the name of the third party, including both the
individual and the organization or entity with which the individual
is associated, when known; and
(2) the third party's permitted uses under Transportation
Code §730.007 for the redisclosed motor vehicle records.
(c) An annual report must include the signature of
the requestor or, if the requestor is an organization or entity, the
signature of an officer or director of the requestor certifying that
all statements in the annual report are true and correct.
(d) An authorized recipient under a bulk contract may
request an extension of time to submit an annual report by sending
a written request to the department no later than September 1st of
the year the annual report is required to be submitted. The request
for extension must include proof of an event that is beyond the control
of the authorized recipient and prevents the timely submission of
the annual report. The department may grant an extension for submission
of the annual report to no later than December 1st of the year the
annual report is required to be submitted.
(e) If an authorized recipient under a bulk contract
fails to timely submit the annual report or request an extension under
subsection (d) of this section, the department may cease disclosing
motor vehicle records until the annual report is submitted to the
department. If an authorized recipient fails to submit an annual report
by December 1st of the year the annual report is required to be submitted,
then the department may terminate the bulk contract.
(f) If a person cancels or the department terminates
a bulk contract, the person must submit a final report containing
all the information required under subsection (b) of this section
relating to all personal information from department motor vehicle
records redisclosed since the last annual report or, if the person
has never submitted an annual report, since the execution of the bulk
contract. The person must submit this report by the 90th day after
the date of the cancellation or termination of the bulk contract.
