Security freezes; protected consumers; penalties. Establishes a procedure by which a protected consumer's representative may request that a consumer reporting agency place a security freeze on the protected consumer's credit report. A protected consumer is an individual resident of the Commonwealth who is (i) younger than age 16 at the time a request for the placement of a security freeze is made or (ii) an incapacitated person for whom a guardian or conservator has been appointed. If a freeze is established for a protected consumer, a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from releasing the protected consumer's credit report, any information derived from it, or any record created for the protected consumer, unless the freeze is removed. A fee of up to $5 may be charged for placing or removing a freeze, except identity theft victims and persons under age 16 for whom the agency has a credit report are not required to pay a fee. Penalties and enforcement mechanisms are identical to those provided for nonprotected consumers under the existing security freeze statute. The measure would have become effective January 1, 2015.

Security freezes; protected consumers, penalties.
