Security Freeze SB 116

Montana Legislature alert. (I'll add this to all post that are very strictly about the Legislature for those not interested.)<br />nWith the Montana Legislature in session I have been paging through the <a href="http://laws.leg.mt.gov/pls/laws07/LAW0217W$BAIV.return_all_bills">bills proposed</a> and a few caught my eye. Here is one.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2007/billhtml/SB0116.htm">SB 116</a><br />n<br />nSecurity freeze authority for consumer credit reports<br />n<br />nSomebody with more knowledge about this than me might take exception to this but I think this is a good idea. Identity theft is a major problem in society and if a person has a freeze on their credit it is less likely to happen. This looks like a good idea to me and something to support.<br />n<br />nAssigned to the Senate Business, Labor, and Economic Affairs Committee. No hearing date set at this time.
