New CA Law Expands ID Theft Protections
Posted on Jul 3, 2008 by Tom Fragala
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed new California identity theft legislation on July 2nd. The compact legislation, SB 612, amends Section 786 of the Penal Code. It was backed by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and California District Attorneys Association. According to the Consumer Federation of California it will:
...expand these provisions to include unauthorized retention and transfer of personal identifying information. It would also add the county in which the victim resided at the time the offense was committed to the jurisdictions in which a criminal action may be brought for commission of these crimes.
