| Summary: A recent court order from the Michigan Supreme Court stated that the Court will amend Rule 1.109 to allow authorized entities, who receive valid consent, to access DOB in a court record for the purposes of verifying the identity of an individual. This means that, provided Truescreen receives valid authorization that permits access to a consumer's personal identifying information, Truescreen will be able to access DOB to confirm identity of an individual when considering whether to report a record.
The order sets forth a definition of what constitutes valid consent. The public comment period on this order will be open until April 1, 2022. Additionally, legislative representatives are continuing to push for the passage of HB 5368, which would order the Michigan State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) to display DOB in all court records and inform local courts about their responsibilities under the adopted rule. The bill has been passed by the House and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for review.
