AI Summary
This bill requires that within thirty days of a child entering the care of the Department of Child Safety (DCS), the child's caseworker must place a security freeze on the child's credit report. A security freeze, as defined in the bill, is a restriction placed on a person's record or credit report to prevent its release. This provision is added to existing law that allows for security freezes for protected persons, which now explicitly includes children in the care of DCS. The bill also makes minor technical amendments to the existing law regarding the removal of security freezes and the definition of government-issued identification.
