Section 1533.3.  A.  Notwithstanding that jurisdiction may lie elsewhere for investigation and prosecution of a crime of identity theft, victims of identity theft have the right to contact the local law enforcement agency where the victim is domiciled and have an incident report about the identity theft prepared and filed.  The local law enforcement agency that prepares and files the incident report shall, upon request, provide the victim with a copy of the incident report.  The law enforcement agency may shall share the incident report with law enforcement agencies located in other jurisdictions.  For purposes of this section, "incident report" means a loss or other similar report prepared and filed by a local law enforcement agency.
The Director of the Department of Public Safety shall provide by rule procedures to make the identity theft incident report part of a database that law enforcement personnel can use to verify if a person is a victim of identity theft upon any stop for a traffic violation.
B.  Nothing in this section shall interfere with the discretion of a local law enforcement agency to allocate resources for investigations of crimes.  An incident report prepared and filed pursuant to this section shall not be an open case for purposes of compiling open case statistics.
SECTION 2.  This act shall become effective November 1, 2013.
