Bill > HB3375

This bill amends the Personal Information Protection Act to enhance data security requirements for data collectors handling personal information of Illinois residents. Specifically, the bill reinforces existing provisions that mandate data collectors who own, license, maintain, or store records containing personal information about Illinois residents must implement and maintain "reasonable security measures" to protect those records from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. The bill also requires that any contracts involving the disclosure of personal information must include a provision mandating the recipient implement similar protective security measures. While the provided XML snippet does not show the full details of the proposed changes related to social security number collection mentioned in the government summary, it appears the bill aims to strengthen protections around personal data, particularly focusing on preventing routine collection of sensitive information like social security numbers without a specific and immediate need. The bill would apply to various types of data collectors, including businesses, organizations, and potentially government entities that handle personal records of Illinois residents.
