Existing law, the California Right to Financial Privacy Act, generally provides for the confidentiality of, and restricts access to, the financial records of people who transact business with, or use the services of, financial institutions or for whom a financial institution has acted as a fiduciary. The act establishes exceptions to those requirements by authorizing various state and local agencies to request information from financial institutions, including requiring specified financial institutions to furnish specified information with regard to a customer account if requested by any police or sheriff's department or district attorney in this state that certifies to that financial institution that a crime report has been filed that involves the alleged fraudulent use of drafts, checks, access cards, or other orders.
