SB2732

Mississippi SB2732 would require a security freeze on a child's consumer credit report within 10 days of birth.

Mississippi SB2732 would mandate that any consumer reporting agency operating in the state place a security freeze on a child's consumer credit report within 10 days of the child's birth, free of charge, upon request from the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The State Board of Health would be tasked with creating rules and regulations to facilitate this process, including providing a form to parents before the child's discharge from a health care facility. The bill also outlines procedures for removing the security freeze, except in cases of material misrepresentation by the Bureau.
