HB2945

HB2945 prohibits the Department of Children and Family Services from requiring volunteers to provide their social security numbers for background.

HB2945 amends the Children and Family Services Act to exclude the social security number of Department volunteers from the definition of "background information." It also amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to prohibit requiring court appointed special advocates to list or provide their social security numbers on forms authorizing criminal history record or background checks. The bill ensures that no person appointed as a court appointed special advocate is required to list or provide their social security number on any form that authorizes a criminal history record or background check.
