Proposed Data Security and Breach Notification Act would preempt 51 existing state and territorial breach notification laws. It would take away much of the U.S. FCC’s authority to enforce data security standards for telecom carriers.

Critics say it would “hamstring” state attorneys general in their efforts to protect consumers against data theft. Lawmakers have introduced several breach notification bills over the past decade, but none have passed.”]
