(Albany, N.Y.) AP - Governor Pataki has signed into law three bills aimed at
combating the growing problem of identity theft.
The Consumer Communication Records Privacy Act prohibits the sale, fraudulent
transfer or solicitation of a person's telephone records without his consent.
State Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz of the Bronx is one of the legislation's
sponsors. He says before the governor signed the bills into law, a person's cell
phone logs could be sold by anyone who obtained them, without facing penalty.
The second bill puts new limits on the use of Social Security numbers. Among
other measures, the law restricts businesses from printing an individual's
number on mailings and prohibits companies from requiring an individual to
transmit his encrypted Social Security number over the Internet.
A third measure strengthens existing laws to allow for the prosecution of those
who intentionally disrupt or steal personal information or plant programs such
as spyware on personal computers without authorization
