SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The California State Senate last week overwhelmingly approved a data security bill that will require entities that cause a data breach to report it to their customers and to pay costs, such as replacing credit cards, due to the breach. The bill, which now goes back to the Assembly for a vote, would provide notice to consumers, telling them which retailers lost their credit or debit card information and when the information was lost. The bill, passed with strong backing by the California CU League, is similar to other data security measures moving through state legislatures at the prompting of credit unions.
