FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2961 by Huberty (Relating to the social security numbers of school district employees.), As Engrossed
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would provide that social security numbers (SSNs) of school district employees are confidential. The bill would require a school district board of trustees to adopt a policy prohibiting the use of an employee's SSN as an employee identifier for any purpose other than tax purposes.
Local Government Impact
Administrative costs would vary depending on whether districts were using employee SSNs for any purposes other than for taxes. These costs could vary widely.
