Under current law, the University of Wisconsin System, a technical college
district board, a school board, and the governing body of a private school are
prohibited from assigning to any student an identification number that is identical
to or incorporates the student's social security number.
Beginning January 1, 2003, this bill extends this prohibition to private
institutions of higher education located in this state.
