Bill > SB0888

This bill amends the Identity Theft Protection Act to modify provisions related to consumer protection and identity theft. The key changes include: 1. Requiring persons or agencies that own, possess, collect or access personal information to implement reasonable security procedures to protect that information from unlawful use or disclosure. 2. Establishing requirements for persons or agencies to investigate and provide notice to residents of Michigan if a security breach occurs that compromises their personal information. 3. Authorizing the Attorney General to accept assurances of discontinuance, issue civil investigative demands, and bring civil actions to enforce the Act's provisions, including seeking injunctions and civil fines for violations. 4. Repealing sections of the existing law related to security freeze fees and the state's identity theft reporting database. The bill aims to strengthen data security protections and enhance enforcement mechanisms to better safeguard Michigan residents from identity theft and related harms.
