Mosbrucker Bill On Social Security Number Protection Reaches Governor

The Washington State Senate has passed and sent to the governor a bill authored by Rep. Gina Mosbrucker that seeks to prohibit the Employment Security Department and Labor and Industries from requiring and using full Social Security numbers from citizens who need their services.  The measure is in response to a massive personal data breach in the state Auditor’s Office affecting those who filed for unemployment benefits in 2020.  House Bill 1455 passed out of the House on Feb. 24 with unanimous approval.  It passed from the Senate 48-1.  It’s Mosbrucker’s second bill to arrive at the governor’s desk during the 2021 legislative session.  Also awaiting the governor’s signature is a measure Mosbrucker authored, House Bill 1315, that would create a task force on domestic violence and workplace resources to identify the role of the workplace in helping to curb domestic violence.
