Fifty-fifth Legislature Second Regular Session - 2000
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 52
BY WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
2 STATING FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO
3 APPOINT A COMMITTEE TO UNDERTAKE AND COMPLETE A STUDY OF THE COMMERCIAL
4 PRACTICE OF MAKING UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT AN
5 INDIVIDUAL TO THIRD PARTIES FOR PURPOSES OF COMMERCIAL SOLICITATION.
6 Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
7 WHEREAS, the Idaho Legislature has expressed a strong policy in favor of
8 protecting the private affairs of Idahoans;
9 WHEREAS, because of improvements in electronic technology and expanding
10 markets, it is increasingly common for some businesses to make unauthorized
11 transfers of personal information about an individual to third parties to be
12 used for commercial solicitation by the third parties;
13 WHEREAS, information transferred without authority is often very personal
14 and sensitive, and often includes information about one's personal life, phys-
15 ical health, mental health and financial and pharmaceutical records;
16 WHEREAS, Idaho citizens are being harmed because they can no longer main-
17 tain the privacy of their personal information;
18 WHEREAS, the Idaho Department of Finance and the Idaho Department of
19 Insurance regulate many of the businesses that acquire personal information in
20 the course of their business;
21 WHEREAS, in 1999, in response to concerns about unauthorized transfers of
22 personal information, the United States Congress enacted a comprehensive
23 financial privacy law as a part of the recent Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial
24 Modernization Act;
25 WHEREAS, Idaho citizens would benefit from improvements in state law that
26 would allow Idaho to enforce the same privacy protections under state law, in
27 addition to those provided under the federal law, and which would enable cus-
28 tomers to instruct their financial institutions and insurance companies to not
29 transfer personal information without the consent of the customer.
30 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
31 sion of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and
32 the Senate concurring therein, that the Legislative Council is authorized to
33 appoint a committee to undertake and complete a study of the business acquisi-
34 tion, use and practice of making unauthorized transfers of personal informa-
35 tion about an individual to third parties for purposes of commercial solicita-
36 tion. The Legislative Council shall determine the number of legislators and
37 membership from each house appointed to the committee and shall authorize the
38 committee to receive input, advice and assistance from interested and affected
39 parties who are not members of the legislature.
40 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nonlegislative members of the committee may be
41 appointed by the cochairs of the committee who are appointed by the Legisla-
42 tive Council. Nonlegislative members of the advisory committee shall not be
43 reimbursed from legislative funds for per diem, mileage or other expenses and
44 shall not have voting privileges regarding the committee's recommendations or
2
1 proposed legislation.
2 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall report its findings, rec-
3 ommendations and proposed legislation, if any, to the First Regular Session of
4 the Fifty-sixth Idaho Legislature.
