SB1121

Author: Dodd
Co-authors: Chau, Hertzberg

 

With increased concern for personal, private information, SB 1121 modernizes the Info Practices Act to align the original 1977 legislation with the Confidentiality of Medical Info Act by adding damages for failure to take reasonable security measures, thus discouraging privacy breaches and protecting consumers. By aligning the old legislation with current law, consumers’ medical records would be further protected from digital threats such as cybersecurity breaches.
