Short Summary
The State Privacy Act prohibits State or local government agencies from denying individuals their rights, benefits, or privileges provided by law due to their refusal to disclose their social security account number. However, there are exemptions to this provision, including disclosures required or permitted by federal statute and disclosures of social security numbers to State or local agencies with systems of records established before January 1, 1975, for identity verification purposes. When requesting individuals to disclose their social security account number, State or local government agencies must inform them whether the disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, the authority for soliciting the number, and the purposes for which it will be used. The document does not specify any specific penalties for non-compliance or violation of its provisions.
