- 3 updates on the SSN front:
-
- The Virginia General Assembly's ad hoc committee on SSN's will be
- having another meeting on Jan. 11, 1993 in Richmond. At that point,
- a draft bill on removing SSNs off of driver's licenses. They may
- also vote to form a permanent committee on privacy issues and
- discuss a privacy commissioner bill that the CPSR, Washington Office
- helped draft.
-
- In Mass, CPSR members have been working with the legislature on
- S.1036, which will remove SSNs off of Mass. Licenses. A electronic
- copy of that bill will be available as soon as it is complete (about
- a week of so).
-
- In Washington, DC, the DC Govt. removed the requirement that all DC
- lawyers disclose their SSNs, citing the Privacy Act, after requested
- by the ACLU and CPSR.
