DOUGLAS TRAUTMANN, ET AL. v. CHRIS CHRISTIE, ETC. A-3139-09T3
This appeal challenges Chapter 37 of the Laws of 2009 which requires a driver under the age of twenty-one who holds a permit or provisional license to display a decal so indicating on the automobile he or she drives. We hold that a person's age or age group is not "personal information" protected under the Federal Drivers Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C.S. §§ 2721-2725 and that Chapter 37 is therefore not preempted by the federal act. We also reject allegations that Chapter 37 violates the affected driver's rights to equal protection and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. 2-22-11
