Arizona Passes ID Theft Law
Speaker Pro Tem Bob Robson's latest battle against identity theft was signed into state law April 16. HB2587 requires creditors to verify a consumer's address before extending credit if the address differs from the one on record and verify the identity of a consumer if they do not use consumer credit reports. "Identity theft is all too prevalent in Arizona and companies need to take every reasonable step to prevent this fraud," Robson, R-Chandler, said.
