     3    §  50-f.  Privacy  of  public records. 1. a. No public entity, nor any
     4  officer or employee thereof, shall require a  person's  social  security
     5  number to appear on the following public records:
     6    (i) mortgages;
     7    (ii) judgments;
     8    (iii) uniform commercial code filings;
     9    (iv) death certificates;
    10    (v) veteran's discharges; or
    11    (vi) state tax warrants.
    12    b.  The  provisions  of  this  subdivision shall not prohibit a public

    13  entity, in its discretion, from entering into agreements with any  other
    14  public  entities  for the provision of a person's social security number
    15  when necessary to further the public entity's official functions.
    16    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of  law,  a  public  entity  in
    17  receipt of a request for a record which contains a person's social secu-
    18  rity  number  shall reject such a request if such entity determines that
    19  the record sought would, if disclosed, be used for any commercial, ille-
    20  gal or any other unrelated purpose.
