SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Personal Information Privacy Act; restricting the use of social security numbers.  Prohibits any person from (i) intentionally communicating an individual's social security number to the general public; (ii) printing an individual's social security number on any card required for the individual to access or receive products or services; (iii) requiring an individual to use his social security number to access an Internet website, unless an authentication device is also required; or (iv) mailing a package with the social security number visible from the outside. The bill exempts public bodies and public records. A violation is a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. The measure also requires the state employee's health insurance plan to use identification numbers that are not the employee's social security number.
