Clean Credit and Identity Theft Prevention Act (security freezes)
DE Security Freeze LawLets Delaware consumers freeze their credit reports so new credit cannot be opened without their PIN or password, with deadlines for credit bureaus to place, lift, and remove freezes. A 2013 amendment lets parents and guardians freeze or create a record for children under 16 and protected adults, and the chapter guarantees identity-theft victims a local police report.
