LEGISLATIVE OVERVIEW
Access to Information
Public concern for privacy has led Congress to consider
several measures that would deny licensed private investigators
the information needed to conduct lawful investigations. Private
investigators use such information to locate individuals to
fight fraud, find witnesses and others, including heirs, lost
individuals and resources.
Several measures have been introduced to limit the sale and
display of Social Security numbers (SSN). NCISS supports
restrictions on the sale to the general public, particularly
over the Internet. NCISS urges Congress to adopt the following
exceptions, similar to those reported by the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science & Transportation last Congress:
. . .to the extent necessary to prevent, detect, or investigate
fraud or unauthorized transactions, to verify identity, to
locate missing or abducted persons or witnesses to an ongoing or
potential civil or criminal lawsuit, criminals, criminal
suspects, parties to lawsuits, parents delinquent in child
support payments, organ and bone marrow donors, pension funds
beneficiaries, missing heirs, and for similar legal, medical or
family related purposes.
