What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if the Department of Regulation and Licensing requires an individual to provide certain personal identifying information for issuance or renewal of a credential or for obtaining a product or service, the department must allow the individual to opt out of being included in a release of such information the department provides in cases where the release includes information about ten or more individuals. Currently, an individual's decision to opt out applies to the release of the individual's name, social security number, telephone number, street address, post-office box number, and zip code.
Under the bill, an individual's decision to opt out applies only to the release of the individual's social security number, telephone number, street name and number, and post-office box number.
