submitted 32 years ago by Pub. L. 103-272 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 87 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of Transportation must keep certain confidential vehicle-theft information secret from the public. It can only go to other government employees doing this work, or be used in most legal proceedings here. This rule never lets anyone withhold the information from an authorized congressional committee.

(a) General. Information the Secretary of Transportation collects under this chapter that counts as "confidential" under section 1905 of title 18 can only be shared in two situations: (1) with another federal government officer or employee who needs it to carry out this chapter, or (2) in a legal proceeding under this chapter — except a proceeding under section 33104(a)(3), which is not covered. (b) Withholding Information From Congress. This section does not let anyone use it as an excuse to keep information from a congressional committee that is authorized to receive it.
