[ga] Re: [atlarge-discuss] FYI California State Assembly: Bill AB2297 & Bill AB700

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

James and all stakeholders, assembly members or other interested parties,

  The Calif.. based bill is borne of the IP interests in attempting to build
the case that a consumers personal and private information such as
Home Address, and SSN, are essential in tracking fraud and other
nefarious and illegal activities of great interest to IP interests.

  In addition I don't see this bill "As is" passing as was eluded in the
Article that James Khan kindly provided the URL for below.  It
also seems to be to fly in the face of the Privacy Act and as well as
the Credit protection Act, both of which are federal statutes.  I do
believe that Federal Statute still trumps state laws of various
sorts, and there have been many that have been conflicting
from time to time and so challenged...
