Governor Signs Bill Requiring Credit Check to Protect Children Aging Out of Foster Care from Identity Theft


Governor Signs Bill Requiring Credit Check to Protect Children Aging Out of Foster Care from Identity Theft

With two young people who aged out of foster care and experienced identity theft and credit report issues at his side, Governor Markell signed into law today a measure that helps protect them and others like them from moving into adulthood with no knowledge of their credit report information.  Effective January 1, 2013,  children preparing to age out of foster care will, by law, receive a credit history report to protect them from identity theft.
