The California State Senate passed a bill Friday that would allow
prosecution for identity theft cases in the county where the victim
resides.

State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, co-authored Senate Bill 612 and
praised fellow senators Friday for voting 40-0 in favor of the legislation.

Current law permits prosecution in the county where the theft occurred, or
where the information was illegally used, even when both locations are
hundreds of miles from the victim's home, according to Simitian's office.
