AN ACT concerning State government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 1. Findings. Identity theft is a major concern for |
the State of Illinois and its employees in both the receipt and |
management of personal funds. Easy access to salary information |
by identity thieves makes it easier for them to open new lines |
of credit in their victims' names. Preventing reporting of the |
exact amount of State employee salaries preserves employee |
privacy by lessening the ease with which identity thieves |
obtain information and helps protect State employees from |
identity theft.
|
Section 5. The State Comptroller Act is amended by changing |
Sections 20 and 27 as follows:
|
(15 ILCS 405/20) (from Ch. 15, par. 220)

showing the amount of
warrants drawn on the treasury, on other |
|
funds held by the State
Treasurer and on any public funds held |
by State agencies, during the
preceding fiscal year, and |
stating, particularly, on what account they
were drawn, and if |
