Creates the Privacy Protection Act. Prohibits a constitutional officer or a State agency under a constitutional officer from selling personal information regarding Illinois citizens for commercial solicitation purposes without the written consent of each person whose information will be sold. Requires purchasers of that information to enter into an agreement disclosing the intended commercial use of the purchase. In addition to any other fees required by law, requires a State agency to charge the purchaser of information a fee that represents the commercial value of the information, even if that fee significantly exceeds the reasonable costs of copying and providing the information. Defines "commercial solicitation purposes". Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Prohibits the Secretary of State from selling driver, vehicle, and title information for commercial solicitation purposes without the written consent of each person whose information will be sold.
