Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Madam and Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 3092, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to prevent identity theft of individuals in the State by preventing persons' full social security numbers from being disclosed in certain public documents.

 

     Specifically, this measure prohibits judgments, orders, and decrees that are recorded in the Land Court and the Bureau of Conveyances from using the full social security number, and instead requires the use of only the last four digits of the social security number to identify the person against whom the judgment, order, or decree is rendered.

 

     The intent of your Committee on Conference is to protect persons from identity theft in one of the most common legal documents filed with the State.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2008.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3092, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3092, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
