Sportsmen's Privacy Bill Introduced





A bill introduced by U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.) would repeal the federal mandate that requires states to collect Social Security numbers for recreational licenses. “I have heard from a lot of hunters and sportsmen’s groups about their legitimate concerns in giving their Social Security number when applying for a hunting license because the numbers are rarely protected as they should be,” said Senator Santorum. “In Pennsylvania and many other states, recreational licenses remain in a paper book often with multiple entries on a page. In my view, there are significant privacy concerns to disclosing Social Security numbers when outdoor enthusiasts purchase their hunting, fishing or recreational licenses.” The bill—S. 2249—is known as the Sportsmen's Privacy Protection Act.
