Arizona Identity Theft Law Aims to Stop Employment Fraud
Posted on Sep 7, 2007 by Tom Fragala
At this time, according to state law, it's a felony if a person uses false identification leading to economic loss of $3,000 or more.
On September 19, the law will change, making it a class three felony for anyone using false identification to obtain employment.
Pima County Attorney, Barbara LaWall, says her office will aggressively prosecute this new identity theft law. "This is a class three felony, it's a serious felony, and it carries a significant penalty. There's a potential of 2½ to 7 years in prison."
More from KVOA News 4.
Some worry Arizona law will lead to more stolen real identities [being stolen] because in the past many fake employment documents (Social Security cards, green cards, etc) used fake numbers.
