* § 399-r. Regulations, fees and privacy. 1. The commissioner is

authorized and directed to promulgate any rules and regulations

necessary to implement the provisions of this article and to insure that

internet delivered pre-licensing courses as approved by the commissioner

and established pursuant to this article, can validate: student identity

at registration and throughout the course; participation throughout the

course; that time requirements are met; and successful completion of the

course. Provided, however, that any rules and regulations promulgated

pursuant to this article shall not stipulate any particular location for

delivery of a pre-licensing course or limit the time of day during which

such course may be taken.

2. The commissioner is authorized to impose a fee upon each internet

pre-licensing course sponsoring agency approved for participation in the

pilot program to deliver such course, which shall not exceed eight

dollars for each student who completes such course by means of the pilot

program established pursuant to this article. Such fees, excluding

administrative expenses of the department, shall be deposited in the

dedicated highway and bridge trust fund established pursuant to section

eighty-nine-b of the state finance law.

3. No internet pre-licensing course sponsoring agency shall disclose

or otherwise make available to any person or entity any personal

information obtained by such provider about any student who registers

for such course. For the purposes of this article, "personal

information" shall mean information that identifies an individual,

including an individual's photo image, social security number, driver

identification number, name, address (but not the five-digit zip code),

telephone number, and medical or disability information.
