AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 623
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 623 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Findings. Identity theft is a major concern for
the State of Illinois and its employees in both the receipt and
management of personal funds. Easy access to salary information
by identity thieves makes it easier for them to open new lines
of credit in their victims' names. Preventing reporting of the
exact amount of State employee salaries preserves employee
privacy by lessening the ease with which identity thieves
obtain information and helps protect State employees from
identity theft.
Section 5. The State Comptroller Act is amended by changing
Sections 20 and 27 as follows:
(15 ILCS 405/20) (from Ch. 15, par. 220)

Minority Leader of the House of Representatives a report,
showing the amount of warrants drawn on the treasury, on other
funds held by the State Treasurer and on any public funds held
by State agencies, during the preceding fiscal year, and
stating, particularly, on what account they were drawn, and if
