Repeals law prohibiting collection and sharing of certain personal information.
This bill repeals the Privacy Protection Act, which currently restricts state and local government agencies and health care facilities from collecting specific personal data. The law being removed prohibits these entities from asking for information such as immigration status, citizenship, place of birth, Social Security numbers, or taxpayer IDs unless it is strictly necessary for administering public services or benefits. Additionally, the repealed statute banned the sale or sharing of automated license plate recognition data and required organizations to create compliance policies while allowing private lawsuits against violators. By eliminating these restrictions, the bill allows government entities and health care facilities to collect and share the specified personal information without the previous legal barriers.
