Summary
Restore Your Identity Act of 2001 - Amends the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to cover offenses chargeable under State law similar to Federal racketeering offenses regarding fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents. Requires a business entity possessing information relating to an identity theft or who may have done business with a person that has made unauthorized use of a victim's means of identification to provide without charge to the victim or to any Federal, State, or local governing law enforcement agency or officer specified by the victim copies of all related application and transaction information. Specifies what constitutes proof of positive identification. Limits liability for a business entity that provides information under this Act for the purpose of identification and prosecution of identity theft or to assist a victim. Amends: (1) the Fair Credit Reporting Act to direct a consumer reporting agency to permanently block the reporting of any information identified by the consumer in such consumer's file resulting from identity theft, subject to specified requirements; and (2) the Internet False Identification Prevention Act of 2000 to include within report contents specified descriptions regarding identity theft. Authorizes civil enforcement actions by State attorneys general regarding identity theft.
