S. 751, A bill to require federal agencies, and persons engaged in interstate commerce, in possession of data containing personal information, to disclose any unauthorized acquisition of such information, introduced April 11, 2005.
Press release from Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California: “Just yesterday, I introduced a stronger version of legislation that would help people to protect themselves from identity theft by requiring companies and organizations to notify individuals when their personal information has been compromised. This would allow individuals to place a 7-year fraud alert on their credit report and to take additional steps against fraud such as notifying their financial institutions and closely reviewing their statements for suspicious activity.”
