State Sen. Joe Simitian co-author of California data-breach notification law says new bill would standardize notification process. Simitan says he hopes that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will sign the new bill into law by year’s end. The initial California law, which took effect in 2003, requires that consumers be notified when unencrypted financial data is lost or stolen from computer systems. The law is credited with inspiring similar legislation in 43 other states, including California, where the initial law was passed in 2003.”]
