Summary

Existing law, the Information Practices Act of 1977, regulates the power of certain state agencies to possess and disclose personal information. Existing law, with certain exceptions, prohibits the disclosure of a person's social number. This bill would prohibit a state agency, as defined, from requiring an applicant for any benefit, service, or privilege, or for participation in any program to provide his or her social security number unless the agency is otherwise expressly required by law to require that the applicant provide the social security number as a precondition to participation in the program or for receipt of the benefit, service, or privilege. This bill would similarly prohibit the agency from retaining the person's social security number, and require the agency to conform their application forms.
