What this law does
A university under the jurisdiction of the Arizona board of regents that assigns an individual identification number to faculty, staff or students may not make it identical to the individual's social security number. The university may not allow the display of the individual's social security number, or any four or more consecutive numbers of it, on any internet site it maintains or other publicly accessible document for any purpose.
A community college or community college district that assigns an identification number identical to an individual's social security number may not allow the display of the social security number, or any four or more consecutive numbers of it, on any internet site it maintains or other publicly accessible document for any purpose.
Apart from a student whose number must correspond to the number assigned in the state's student accountability information system, a community college or community college district must assign every student an identification number that is not identical to the student's social security number.
It must also notify students of the option to obtain, for no additional fee, an identification number that is not identical to a social security number, in applications for admission, in telecommunications registration procedures and in college catalogs. On the request of a faculty or staff member, a community college or community college district must assign an identification number that is not identical to a faculty or staff member's social security number.
The section does not exempt a regulated institution from a federal duty that regulates its collection or use of social security numbers or protects the privacy rights of faculty, staff or students.
