HB 2750: Social security numbers

Prohibiting the disclosure of federal social security numbers by county auditors.

Summary

  • Prohibits county auditors from publicly disclosing or otherwise allowing public access to federal social security numbers contained in any documents, records, or files maintained by county auditors, unless the individual to whom the social security number is assigned gives his or her express written consent to disclose the number or disclosure of the number is requested by a federal, state, or local agency.
  • Requires county auditors to assess a one dollar surcharge for each recorded document, to be used for the administrative and technological costs associated with creating a system that ensures the removal of social security numbers from documents filed with county auditors that are subject to disclosure, and terminates the surcharge provision on July 1, 2011.
  • Exempts federal social security numbers from disclosure under the Public Records Act unless the individual to whom the social security number is assigned gives his or her express written consent to disclose the number or disclosure is requested by a federal, state, or local agency.
