Bill > S265

This bill amends Chapter 93H of Massachusetts law by expanding the definition of "personal information" to explicitly include an individual's date of birth. By adding "date of birth" as a specific category of personal information, the legislation aims to provide greater protection for this sensitive personal detail. Currently, the law likely already protects other forms of personal identifying information, such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or financial account details. The addition of date of birth to the definition suggests an intent to enhance consumer privacy and prevent potential identity theft or unauthorized use of personal data. This modification could help businesses, government agencies, and other organizations understand their responsibilities in safeguarding this specific piece of personal information and potentially impose stricter protocols for its handling and protection.
