���� 1.��� a.� As used in this
section:

���� �Commissioner� means the
Commissioner of Transportation.

���� �Data-sharing project� means a
project developed, in whole or in part, for the collection, sharing, and
utilization of de-identified data pursuant to subsection b. of this section.

���� �De-identified data� means:
data that cannot be reasonably used to infer information about, or otherwise be
linked to, an identified or identifiable individual, or a device linked to such
an individual, if the controller that possesses the data: (1) takes reasonable
measures to ensure that the data cannot be associated with an individual, (2)
publicly commits to maintain and use the data only in a de-identified fashion
and not to attempt to re-identify the data, and (3) contractually obligates any
recipients of the information to comply with the requirements provided in this
definition.

���� �Precise geolocation data�
means information derived from technology, including, but not limited to,
global positioning system level latitude and longitude coordinates or other
mechanisms, that directly identifies the specific location of an individual
with precision and accuracy within a radius of 1,750 feet.� �Precise
geolocation data� does not include the content of communications.

���� �Public-private partnership
agreement� means an agreement entered into by the Department of Transportation
and a private entity pursuant to subsection b. of this section for the purpose
of permitting a private entity to assume full financial and administrative
responsibility for the development, design, delivery, marketing, and

���� b.��� The commissioner or the
commissioner�s designee may, in consultation with the Office of Information
Technology, enter into a public-private partnership agreement with a private
entity, pursuant to the provisions of this section, that permits the private entity
to assume full financial and administrative responsibility for the development
of a data-sharing project.� The purpose of a data-sharing project shall be to

precise geolocation data, to provide motorists and the department with
accurate, up-to-to-date information about road closures, driving conditions,
and rainfall.

���� c.���� All data-sharing
projects proposed in accordance with this section shall be submitted to the
commissioner or the commissioner�s designee for review and approval.� The
