Summary of Bill S 619

Bill 119 s 619, also known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act Amendment, aims to make changes to the existing Fair Credit Reporting Act in order to better protect consumers when it comes to placing security freezes on their credit reports.

The bill specifically focuses on "protected consumers," which refers to individuals who have been victims of identity theft or fraud. These consumers are often at a higher risk of having their personal information compromised, so it is crucial that they have the ability to place security freezes on their credit reports to prevent unauthorized access.

The amendment seeks to streamline the process for protected consumers to place security freezes on their credit reports, making it easier and more efficient for them to protect their personal information. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for notifying consumers of their rights and options when it comes to placing security freezes, as well as guidelines for credit reporting agencies on how to handle these requests. Overall, the Fair Credit Reporting Act Amendment aims to strengthen consumer protections and ensure that individuals who have been victims of identity theft or fraud have the necessary tools to safeguard their personal information.
