RE: H.B. No. 2342
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2342, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to enhance consumer
protections by allowing consumers, protected consumers, and representatives of
protected consumers to request consumer reporting agencies to place, remove, or
lift a security freeze on their consumer reports without charge because of
recent security breaches of databases that contain consumer identifying
information.
The
Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs; Hawaii Government Employees
Association, AFSCME Local 152, AFL-CIO; AARP Hawai‘i; and several concerned
individuals supported this measure.
Consumer Data Industry Association and a concerned individual offered
comments for this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2342, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
