New Jersey S2479 allows parents or guardians to place a security freeze on a child's consumer report.

New Jersey S2479 amends existing law to authorize parents or legal guardians to place a security freeze on a child's consumer report. This measure aims to prevent child identity theft by prohibiting consumer reporting agencies from releasing the report or any information in it without the express authorization of the child's parent or guardian. The security freeze remains in place until the child turns 18 or the parent or guardian requests its removal.
