1. (a) The department may deny a requestor's access to motor vehicle records if it determines withholding the information benefits the public's interest more than releasing the information.
2. (b) If the department determines an authorized recipient of motor vehicle records has violated a clause or term of the service agreement, and that service agreement has been terminated, that authorized recipient cannot enter into a subsequent service agreement unless approved to do so under §217.130 of this title (relating to Approval for Persons Whose Access to Motor Vehicle Records Has Previously Been Terminated).
3. (c) Termination of the service agreement caused by any member of a business, partnership, or entity shall be effective on the whole organization. Subsequent businesses formed by any member, officer, partner or affiliate of an entity whose service agreement has been terminated will also be ineligible to receive records.
