What this law does
Each state agency, board, commission, institution, department and other state entity must develop privacy policies and procedures that limit the collection of personal information about citizens of the State to what the entity requires and what is necessary to fulfill a legitimate public purpose.
A state entity that hosts, supports or links to a page or site on the world wide web must clearly display its privacy policy and the name and telephone number of the person responsible for administration of the policy. Where an entity is authorized to collect personal information, it must at the time of collection advise the citizen to whom the information pertains that the information is subject to public scrutiny or release.
The notice at collection does not apply to criminal justice or judicial agencies, or both. Personal information means information that identifies or describes an individual, including among other things the individual's photograph or digitized image, social security number, date of birth, driver's identification number, name and home address.
