61.4 	Transportation commercial vehicle accident information in connection with federal grant 
61.5 	programs relating to safety.
61.6 	(b) Accident reports and data contained in the reports are not discoverable under any 
61.7 	provision of law or rule of court. No report shall be used as evidence in any trial, civil or 
61.8 	criminal, or any action for damages or criminal proceedings arising out of an accident. 
61.9 	However, the commissioner of public safety shall furnish, upon the demand of any person 
61.10 	who has or claims to have made a report or upon demand of any court, a certificate showing 
61.11 	that a specified accident report has or has not been made to the commissioner solely to prove 
61.12 	compliance or failure to comply with the requirements that the report be made to the

61.17 	as to facts within the individual's knowledge. It is intended by this subdivision to render

61.33 	user" is a user who in one location requests access to data in more than five accident reports

62.1 	money collected by the commissioner under this paragraph, 90 percent must be deposited

62.6 	using the cost-recovery charges provided for under section 13.03, subdivision 3. The database 
62.7 	provided must not contain personal or private data on an individual. However, unless the 
62.8 	accident records database includes the vehicle identification number, the commissioner 
62.9 	shall include the vehicle registration plate number if a private agency certifies and agrees 
62.10 	that the agency:
62.11 	(1) is in the business of collecting accident and damage information on vehicles;
62.12 	(2) will use the vehicle registration plate number only for identifying vehicles that have 
62.13 	been involved in accidents or damaged, to provide this information to persons seeking access 
62.14 	to a vehicle's history and not for identifying individuals or for any other purpose; and
62.15 	(3) will be subject to the penalties and remedies under sections 13.08 and 13.09.
