The state of Tennessee is taking big steps to protect consumers from identity theft. Tomorrow, Gov. Phil Bredesen will be signing the “Credit Security Act of 2007” into law. The new legislation – hailed by the AARP – will allow consumers to freeze their credit (to prevent criminals from buying stuff like cars under their names), as well as ensure that companies and government entities protect SS numbers. In other “Good ME” news, the White House is giving government agencies 120 days to develop security breach policies.
