Doesn’t the DMV collect and sell your personal information to third parties as well? We need some personal privacy laws with teeth if people are just going to pass around our sensitive info like poker chips.

You can look into EU's GDPR if you want to advocate for personal data protection. I guess similar legislation could be implemented in the US at the state level. Also, is there going to be a trial so that people can get a nice $25 check?

Probably closer to $0.25 check so lawyers can get their well deserved cut.
