Indiana House House Bill 1101 (HB 1101) which takes effect July 1, will “require disclosure of security breaches and encryption of data by companies holding customers’ and clients’ personal identification information in computer databases if it could cause identity theft, identity deception, or fraud.”
Press release from Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter, May 31, 2006: “This law will require disclosure of security breaches and encryption of data by companies holding customers and clients personal identification information in computer databases if it could cause identity theft, identity deception, or fraud. This would help protect consumers by making them aware when their personal information may have been stolen. People would then be able to take the necessary steps to protect themselves from any further damage.”
