Bill > SB2732

This bill establishes a procedure for placing a security freeze, which is a restriction on access to a consumer's credit report, on a child's credit report shortly after birth. It requires any consumer reporting agency, which is a company that collects and sells consumer credit information, operating in the state to place this freeze free of charge upon receiving a request from the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The Bureau of Vital Statistics is the state agency responsible for keeping records of births, deaths, and other vital events. The bill also mandates that the State Board of Health create rules for parents to authorize the Bureau of Vital Statistics to request this security freeze for their child within ten days of birth. For children born in a healthcare facility, a form will be provided to parents before discharge, allowing them to choose whether to authorize the Bureau to request the security freeze for their newborn.
