| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Social | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Security Numbers Limited Use Act. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Section 5. Use of social security numbers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, a person | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | or entity may not do any of the following: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | (1) Publicly post or publicly display in any manner an | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | individual's social security number. As used in this | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Section, "publicly post" or "publicly display" means to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | intentionally communicate or otherwise make available to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | the general public. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | (2) Print an individual's social security number on any | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | card required for the individual to access products or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | services provided by the person or entity; however, a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | person or entity that provides an insurance card must print | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | on the card an identification number unique to the holder | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | of the card in the format prescribed by Section 15 of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | Uniform Prescription Drug Information Card Act. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | (3) Require an individual to transmit his or her social | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | security number over the Internet, unless the connection is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | secure or the social security number is encrypted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | (4) Require an individual to use his or her social | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | security number to access an Internet web site, unless a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | password or unique personal identification number or other | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27 | authentication device is also required to access the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
28 | Internet web site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
29 | (5) Print an individual's social security number on any | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
30 | materials that are mailed to the individual, unless State | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
31 | or federal law requires the social security number to be on | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
32 | the document to be mailed. Notwithstanding any provision in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Section to the contrary, social security numbers may | ||||||
2 | be included in applications and forms sent by mail, | ||||||
3 | including documents sent as part of an application or | ||||||
4 | enrollment process or to establish, amend, or terminate an | ||||||
5 | account, contract, or policy or to confirm the accuracy of | ||||||
6 | the social security number. A social security number that | ||||||
7 | may permissibly be mailed under this Section shall not be | ||||||
8 | printed, in whole or in part, on a postcard or other mailer | ||||||
9 | that does not require an envelope and shall not be visible | ||||||
10 | on an envelope or without the envelope having been opened. | ||||||
11 | (b) A person or entity that used, before July 1, 2005, an | ||||||
12 | individual's social security number in a manner inconsistent | ||||||
13 | with subsection (a) of this Section may continue using that | ||||||
14 | individual's social security number in the same manner on or | ||||||
15 | after July 1, 2005 if all of the following conditions are met: | ||||||
16 | (1) The use of the social security number is | ||||||
17 | continuous. If the use is stopped for any reason, | ||||||
18 | subsection (a) shall apply. | ||||||
19 | (2) The individual is provided an annual disclosure | ||||||
20 | that informs the individual that he or she has the right to | ||||||
21 | stop the use of his or her social security number in a | ||||||
22 | manner prohibited by subsection (a). A written request by | ||||||
23 | an individual to stop the use of his or her social security | ||||||
24 | number in a manner prohibited by subsection (a) shall be | ||||||
25 | implemented within 30 days after the receipt of the | ||||||
26 | request. There shall be no fee or charge for implementing | ||||||
27 | the request. A person or entity shall not deny services to | ||||||
28 | an individual because the individual makes a written | ||||||
29 | request. | ||||||
30 | (c) This Section does not apply to the collection, use, or | ||||||
31 | release of a social security number as required by State or | ||||||
32 | federal law or the use of a social security number for internal | ||||||
33 | verification or administrative purposes. This Section does not | ||||||
34 | apply to the collection, use, or release of a social security | ||||||
35 | number by the State, a subdivision of the State, or an | ||||||
36 | individual in the employ of the State or a subdivision of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State in connection with his or her official duties. | ||||||
2 | (d) This Section does not apply to documents that are
| ||||||
3 | recorded or required to be open to the public under State or | ||||||
4 | federal law, applicable case law, Supreme Court Rule, or the | ||||||
5 | Constitution of the State of Illinois. | ||||||
6 | (e) If a federal law takes effect requiring the United | ||||||
7 | States Department of Health and Human Services to establish a | ||||||
8 | national unique patient health identifier program, any person | ||||||
9 | or entity who complies with the federal law shall be deemed to | ||||||
10 | be in compliance with this Section. | ||||||
11 | (f) A person or entity may not encode or embed a social | ||||||
12 | security number in or on a card or document, including, but not | ||||||
13 | limited to, using a bar code, chip, magnetic strip, or other | ||||||
14 | technology, in place of removing the social security number as | ||||||
15 | required by this Section. | ||||||
16 | (g) The provisions of this Section shall take effect on | ||||||
17 | July 1, 2006. | ||||||
18 | Section 10. Insurance cards; social security numbers. | ||||||
19 | (a) As used in this Section, "insurance card" means a card | ||||||
20 | that a person or entity provides to an individual so that the | ||||||
21 | individual may present the card to establish the eligibility of | ||||||
22 | the individual or his or her dependents to receive health, | ||||||
23 | dental, optical, or accident insurance benefits, prescription | ||||||
24 | drug benefits, or benefits under a managed care plan or a plan | ||||||
25 | provided by a health maintenance organization, a health | ||||||
26 | services plan corporation, or a similar entity. | ||||||
27 | (b) A person or entity may not print an individual's social | ||||||
28 | security number on an insurance card. A person or entity that | ||||||
29 | provides an insurance card must print on the card an | ||||||
30 | identification number unique to the holder of the card in the | ||||||
31 | format prescribed by Section 15 of the Uniform Prescription | ||||||
32 | Drug Information Card Act. | ||||||
33 | (c) An insurance card issued to an individual before | ||||||
34 | January 1, 2005, that does not comply with subsection (b) of | ||||||
35 | this Section must be replaced by January 1, 2006 with an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | insurance card that complies with subsection (b) if the | ||||||
2 | individual's eligibility for benefits continues after January | ||||||
3 | 1, 2005. | ||||||
4 | Section 15. Educational institutions. No private college | ||||||
5 | or university or private business and vocational school located | ||||||
6 | or doing business in this State may print an individual's | ||||||
7 | social security number on any card or other document required | ||||||
8 | for the individual to access products or services provided by | ||||||
9 | the institution. | ||||||
10 | Section 20. Violations. Each use of a social security | ||||||
11 | number in violation of this Act constitutes a separate | ||||||
12 | violation of this Act. A violation of any provision of Section | ||||||
13 | 5 or 10 of this Act is a Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
