New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman proposes to update state law to require businesses to implement safeguards to protect stored personal consumer data. Schneiderman: “Our new law will be the strongest, most comprehensive in the nation” Schneiderman’s proposal would provide a safe harbor to businesses that comply with the new requirements. Lawyer: Such a state law could prevent lawsuits from being filed in other states that purport to represent a national class of consumers. No bill has been introduced yet; the AG’s office is in the process of drafting the legislation.”]
