Governor Jay Nixon signed several bills into law, including one designed to prevent identity theft.
The measure makes it a class A misdemeanor to possess stolen credit card information or devises, even if the info or devise has not been used after being stolen. In a written statement, Nixon praised lawmakers for passing the bill, saying it will give law enforcement another tool to use against hackers and identity thieves. It won’t take effect until January.

Hmmm… Does this include financial institutions who routinely look through data dumps to determine if their customers/members have been compromised? Not sure I like a bill that doesn’t have a whole lot of details.
