Senate Holds Hearing on Data Security and Breach Notification Bill

The Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing on S. 3742, The Data Security and Breach Notification Act of 2010. This bill requires security policies for consumer information, regulates the information broker industry, and establishes a national breach notification law. EPIC director Marc Rotenberg testified on a similar bill in the House recommending support but also urging lawmakers to strengthen the proposed law by adopting a broader definition of "personally identifiable information" and permitting stronger state laws to remain. The Senate thus far has not addressed these concerns. For more information, see EPIC: Identity Theft.
