Bill Summary
For legislation relative to data breach notification. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing data breach notification law in Massachusetts. It specifies that a data breach notification is required only if the breach creates a substantial risk of identity theft or fraud. The bill also requires the notice to include information about the consumer's right to obtain a security freeze, that there is no charge for the freeze, and that mitigation services will be provided. However, the notice must not include the details of the breach, such as the nature of the breach or the number of residents affected.
