Description: "In 2005, 20 different states and the City of New York followed California's lead and passed laws seeking to require entities collecting or storing personally identifiable information to notify the subjects if unauthorized third parties gain access to that information. There are now 21 different state laws on the subject, many with very different requirements. Federal legislation is hoped for, but passage of broadly preemptive federal legislation is far from certain. This book provides comprehensive guidance to all 21 state legislative efforts at breach notification statutes, categorizes the various aspects of such statutes and specifically describes how each different state deals with each aspect. It points out the similarities and differences of each state law. The approach is simply a detailed summary of each different legislative scheme. This is a reference for anyone dealing with data breach notification issues."--Jacket.
