SB 5939: Victims of identity theft

Requiring police reports to be given to victims of identity theft.

Summary

  • Requires police and sheriff's departments to provide, to a consumer so requesting, a copy of any police report filed by the consumer claiming to be a victim of identity theft.
  • Clarifies that the police reports which consumers must provide to consumer reporting agencies, in order to permanently block the agency from reporting information the consumer identifies as being the result of identity theft, are reports that the consumers, themselves, have filed with the police and not reports generated by the police.
