(3) Consistent with (1)(f)(e):
(a) the driver's license numbers, whole or partial social security numbers, and address information protected from general disclosure pursuant to 13-2-115, MCA, and Section 22, Chapter 139, Laws of 2013, effective January 1, 2014, may not be provided unless required by a court order; and
(b) remains the same.
AUTH: 13-2-108, MCA

The amendments to (1)(e) and (3)(a) are to comply with statutory changes made in 2013 specifying that the e-mail addresses of absent military and overseas electors be kept confidential. The rule is being transferred to Subchapter 11 in order to place it with the other voter registration system rule.
6. The Secretary of State proposes the transfer of the following rule:
