LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1965, Leach. Information practices: State Board of Equalization.
The Information Practices Act prohibits the distribution of an individual’s name and address for commercial purposes, sale, or rental by a state agency, unless specifically authorized by law. The act does not prohibit the release of only names and addresses of persons possessing licenses to engage in professional occupations or of persons who are registered with, or are holding licenses or permits issued by, the State Board of Equalization.
This bill would prohibit the State Board of Equalization from releasing the names and addresses of individuals who are registered with, or are holding licenses or permits issued by, the State Board of Equalization except to the extent necessary to verify resale certificates or to administer the tax and fee provisions of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The bill would provide that its provisions do not prohibit the release by the State Board of Equalization to, or limit the use by, any federal or state agency, or local government, of any data collected by the board that is otherwise authorized by law.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
