Provides relief for identity theft victims by allowing destruction or sealing of related police and court records and issuing an identity theft.
The bill amends the criminal procedure law to offer relief for victims of identity theft. It allows individuals whose identity was used without consent to petition the court to seal or destroy related police and court records. The attorney general, in cooperation with the state police, can issue an "identity theft passport" to these victims, which may include their photograph and fingerprint record. The passport provides access to identity theft information to criminal justice agencies and individuals who have submitted a court order.
