Good Morning Colleagues,

Does anyone have any further information on the issue below?  I have my
compliance folks requesting further information from me.  Any
information would be greatly appreciated!




New Colorado Law Protects Social Security Numbers and More
In an effort to protect consumer privacy the Colorado Legislature
recently amended the Colorado Consumer Protection Act to require public
and private entities to safeguard documents that contain personally
identifying information. The new law specifically requires these
entities to develop a destruction policy for documents with social
security numbers, personal identification numbers, passwords, passcodes,
state or government-issued driver s license or identification card
numbers, passport numbers, biometric dates, employer names, student or
military identification numbers or financial transaction devices. The
new law became effective on August 4, 2004.
What does this mean for Colorado employers? Both public and private
sector employers should establish a policy directing personnel records
and any other documents with personally identifying information of
employees to be disposed of in a manner designed to prevent someone from
obtaining or stealing this information. This could include shredding,
incinerating, or redacting information from documents.
