LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law, the Information Practices Act of 1977, prescribes a set of requirements, prohibitions, and remedies applicable to public agencies, as defined, with regard to their collection, storage, and disclosure of personal information. The act specifically requires an agency to collect personal information to the greatest extent practicable from the individual who is the subject of the information rather than from another source.
This bill would require a public agency subject to the Information Practices Act of 1977 to collect the least amount of personal information required to fulfill the purposes of its collection. The bill also would require an agency able to fulfill its requirements by collecting nonpersonal information instead of personal information to do so.
