* § 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.
