State lawmakers voted today to protect the private information of Oklahoma couples.House Bill 1362, by state Rep. Marian Cooksey, makes it illegal for state or local government to include the Social Security numbers of couples on public documents when those couples seek a marriage license.
“Government should punish identity theft, not make it easier to commit the crime,” said Cooksey, R-Edmond. “This legislation ensures couples are not forced to put out vital personal information that can easily be misused by a criminal.”
House Bill 1362 passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives 97-0 today. It now proceeds to the state Senate.
