| 1 | HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
| ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, Identity theft is a major and growing problem in | ||||||
| 3 | the United States and in Illinois; and
| ||||||
| 4 | WHEREAS, An individual's social security number is a | ||||||
| 5 | primary means of identifying the individual, and the | ||||||
| 6 | unauthorized disclosure of the individual's social security | ||||||
| 7 | number creates a substantial risk that the individual's | ||||||
| 8 | identity may be stolen; and
| ||||||
| 9 | WHEREAS, Certain State officers and agencies require | ||||||
| 10 | individuals to disclose their social security numbers for | ||||||
| 11 | various reasons, thus creating the potential for the theft of | ||||||
| 12 | those individuals' identities if their social security numbers | ||||||
| 13 | are further disclosed without authorization; and
| ||||||
| 14 | WHEREAS, The State should take all necessary steps to | ||||||
| 15 | ensure that the procedures used by its officers and agencies do | ||||||
| 16 | not facilitate the theft of individuals' identities through the | ||||||
| 17 | unauthorized disclosure of those individuals' social security | ||||||
| 18 | numbers; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| 19 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
