The bill would amend the Business and Commerce Code to provide that a representative authorized to act on behalf of a child less than 16 years of age may request a security alert or freeze be placed on the childs credit file. The bill would also provide for the time period the security freeze would remain in effect. The Office of the Attorney General has determined that the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the State and could be absorbed within existing resources. The fiscal impact that may be generated in association with implementing the provisions of the bill for the Office of the Consumer Credit Commissioner are not considered in this analysis because any fiscal impact for the agency would be realized outside of the Treasury due to the agency being Self-Directed and Semi-Independent. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
