From Attorney General Greg Zoeller:
A bill that Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller has supported to strengthen Indiana’s protections against identity theft is poised to win final approval from the Indiana General Assembly and move to the governor’s desk.
House Enrolled Act 1121, the identity-theft protection legislation, already has passed once in the Indiana House and state Senate; and a concurrence vote in the House is anticipated soon.
“I want to publicly thank legislators from both chambers and both parties who have voted overwhelmingly for this common-sense legislation that boosts protections for Indiana consumers,” Zoeller said. “House Enrolled Act 1121 goes a long way toward restoring the good name of an identity theft victim. Also, it more harshly penalizes those individuals who, out of greed, would steal the identities of innocent strangers or even their own children in order to commit fraud.”
