HB 1482 (2020)

Disclose security breaches, holding back investigation details

Summary:

Provides that following the initial notice of a security breach, further information regarding the breach may be withheld pending a criminal investigation. According to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee, "This bill requires immediate disclosure of a security breach to anyone affected. Under current law, disclosure can be delayed while an investigation takes place. The committee felt time is of the essence for consumers and others to change or cancel credit cards, reset passwords, or take other action after their information has been compromised. After notice has been given, additional details can be withheld to protect an investigation."
