SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Identity theft; fictitious name; identity theft passport; Attorney General to conduct criminal prosecutions; day care records; penalties. Authorizes the Attorney General, with the concurrence of the attorney for the Commonwealth, to assist in the prosecution of the crimes of identity theft (§ 18.2-186.3) and the use of a person's identity with the intent to intimidate, coerce, or harass (§ 18.2-186.4). The bill allows for a conviction under the identity theft statutes when the defendant uses a false or fictitious name. The bill requires the Division of Motor Vehicles, upon notification from the Attorney General that an Identity Theft Passport has been issued to a driver, to note the same on the driver's abstract. The bill directs child day programs that reproduce or retain documents of a child's proof of identity that are required upon the child's enrollment into the program to destroy them upon the conclusion of the requisite period of retention. The procedures for the disposal, physical destruction or other disposition of the proof of identity containing social security numbers shall include all reasonable steps to destroy such documents by (i) shredding, (ii) erasing, or (iii) otherwise modifying the social security numbers in those records to make them unreadable or indecipherable by any means.
