Summary
Security freezes on credit reports; penalty. Authorizes any consumer to freeze access to his credit report. If a consumer has placed a freeze on his credit report, a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from releasing the credit report, or any information in it, without the consumer’s express authorization. The measure provides a means by which a consumer can release his report permanently, temporarily, or to a specific third party. Consumer reporting agencies may charge a consumer up to $20 for each freeze, removal of the freeze, or temporary lift of the freeze. A violation is a prohibited practice under the Consumer Protection Act.
