Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that the department of corrections (DOC) may not enter into
any contract or other agreement if, in the performance of the contract or agreement,
a prisoner would perform data entry or telemarketing services and have access to any
information that may serve to identify a minor.
In addition, the bill provides that DOC may not enter into any contract or other
agreement if, in the performance of the contract or agreement, a prisoner would
perform data entry or telemarketing services and have access to an individual's
financial transaction card numbers, checking or savings account numbers or social
security number. Under the bill, a financial transaction card means an instrument
or device issued for the use of the cardholder in obtaining anything on credit,
certifying or guaranteeing the availability of funds sufficient to honor a draft or
