Introduced by: Joe T. May | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act; unique identifying numbers limited on public records. Prohibits filing or creating public records that contain more than the last four digits of any unique identifying number, unless such use is required by law or the record is exempt from disclosure. The bill defines unique identifying number as any alphabetic or numeric sequence, or combination thereof, that is unique and assigned to a specific natural person at that person’s request and includes, but is not limited to, social security number, bank account number, credit card number, military service number and driver’s license number. The bill excludes from this definition any arbitrarily assigned alphabetic or numeric sequence, or combination thereof, that is assigned to a natural person for purposes of identification, in lieu of social security numbers, and used for a single, specific government purpose. Either preparers or filers of such documents must certify that the document complies with this prohibition before the documents can be filed. The bill contains a reenactment clause.
