OH SB374

Adds new definition of "social security number" (three or more consecutive digits) and "public record" to Ohio's civil rights law framework.

Prohibits persons from placing social security numbers on identification cards/devices, requiring them as passwords, soliciting them over unsecured internet, printing them on outside-facing mail, or publicly displaying/selling them.

Creates exceptions allowing individuals to include their own or their minor child's social security number in personal mail, and permits collection/use as required by state or federal law or for internal verification.

Establishes civil remedies for violations and adds administrative fines of up to $1,000 for first violation and up to $2,000 for each subsequent violation of social security number restrictions.

Allows Ohio Civil Rights Commission to investigate violations and require respondents to pay fines in addition to other damages and relief available under civil rights law.
