Fishing License

Delegate Elliott:

   I, and many of my peers, find it most invasive to be required to provide a social security number in order to get a fishing license in Maryland.  The Social Security number was never inteded to be an identification.  I remember the original card that stated, "Not to be used for identification". 

   As a health provider, I have observed most if not all insurance companies moving away from the use of a SS #, due to issues of privacy, and identity theft.  I believe the 4th amendment states, that we should be secure in our person and personal papers.

   Please draft, or allow me to draw-up, legislation that would remove this unconstitutional requirement for something, as everyday, as a fishing license.

Sincerely,

Michael T. Hargadon DDS, MS
