Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. of
St. Louis is committed to standing up for the rights of others – and to
utilizing his role as state legislator to advocate for fairness, equality and
justice on behalf of those without the means to stand up for themselves.
To
that end, Roberts recently co-sponsored HCS HB 1358 – legislation designed to
eliminate any requirement of personal online account access by landlords,
employers and educational institutions.
HB 1358, as Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. of St. Louis knows, bans the
requirement of personal account access as a condition of anything from
residency and college enrollment to employment. It also protects private users
from retaliation from employers or other entities once such a request has been
denied.
Though HB 1358 does eliminate this access requirement, it does not prevent employers, landlords or public education institutions from accessing public information. This bill originated in the House’s Special Committee on Innovation and Technology.
