Summary
Freezing access to credit reports. 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. Certain disclosures are exempt from the freeze. A consumer reporting agency may charge a fee of no more than $5 for establishing a freeze, removing a freeze, or temporarily lifting a freeze; however, victims of identity theft shall not be charged a fee. Violations are a prohibited practice under the Consumer Protection Act.
