Comment: I agree with the proposed changes. With the market shifting to an IT based world, identity theft is increasing. Therefore, more stringent rules and regulations should be in place to protect those that may be affected. By having requirements to implement an identity theft prevention plan and to verify change of personal information has the potentiality to protect people.
