FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 93
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
SB 93 would repeal and replace AS 45.48.220, under AS 45.48 (Personal Information Protection Act), which allows a parent
or legal guardian to place a security freeze on the credit report of a minor, incapacitated person, or protected person.
Under SB 93, AS 45.48.100 45.48.290 (Credit Report and Credit Score Security Freeze) would not apply to a security
freeze on the credit report of a protected consumer. SB 93 allows a representative of a protected consumer to place a
security freeze on the credit report of a protected consumer.
If a credit report does not exist at the time the request is made, the consumer credit reporting agency would be required
to generate a record for the protected consumer for the purpose of placing a security freeze. A representative of a
protected consumer would be required to provide proof of identification in order to place a freeze on a protected
consumers credit report, and the credit reporting agency would be required to place the freeze within a certain period of
time.
If a security freeze was placed on a protected persons credit report, the credit reporting agency would be prohibited from
releasing the report without the express permission of the protected consumer or the protected consumers
representative. The security freeze would remain in effect until removed by the protected consumer, protected
consumers representative, or the credit reporting agency. A credit reporting agency would be permitted to charge $5 to
place a security freeze on a protected consumers credit report, but would not be permitted to charge a fee in certain
circumstances.
SB 93 contains a list of exemptions that allow certain persons and entities to access the protected consumers credit
report when the freeze is in place, and a list of definitions. The transition section of SB 93 allows a security freeze placed
under AS 45.48.220 to remain in effect after the bills effective date.
The Department of Law does not anticipate fiscal impact to the department should this bill become law.
