* §  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.
