Supreme Court of the United States

Reno v. Condon

January 19, 2000528 U.S. 141

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the Driver's Privacy Protection Act is a proper exercise of Congress's Commerce Clause power, as the regulated motor vehicle information is an article of interstate commerce. Additionally, the Act does not violate the Tenth Amendment because it regulates States as owners of data bases rather than requiring them to enact or enforce federal law.
