AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance consumer protection against identity fraud. It establishes a Division of Privacy Protection within the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation to centralize the reporting and investigation of identity fraud cases. The bill requires the director of consumer affairs and business regulation, in consultation with the attorney general, to create a repository for identity fraud complaints, refer processed complaints to local law enforcement, and adopt relevant rules and regulations. Additionally, the bill mandates that if a crime is reported in a jurisdiction other than where the victim resides, the local law enforcement agency receiving the report shall refer the matter to the agency where the victim resides, and the investigation shall remain open until the perpetrator is apprehended.
