SF 4284 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Identity definition modification for purposes of identity theft crime

This bill updates Minnesota's laws related to identity theft and financial crimes by expanding how identity is legally defined and strengthening investigative powers. It adds digital likenesses and voice recordings to the definition of identity, allowing prosecutors to charge crimes involving deepfakes or synthetic media that could deceive people. The legislation also grants the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension broader authority to issue administrative subpoenas for financial crime investigations and extends reporting requirements for insurance fraud. Additionally, the bill modifies statutes of limitation for certain fraud-related offenses and clarifies definitions for victims and unlawful activities in identity theft cases.
