State security freeze/breach list updated

We've updated our list of state security freeze and breach laws. The page links to legislative pages of the 10 state legislatures that have enacted freeze laws and the 19 states that have enached breach notification laws. NJ has both sitting on the governor's desk. The NJ laws will be signed in September. Our main identity theft and credit reporting page includes a lot more detailed information, including information about free credit reports. We also have a detailed list of specialty credit bureaus on our downloadable short id theft fact sheet. These tenant, employment, check clearing and similar bureaus also must provide free reports-- through 800#s.
