Bill Summary
This bill revises the "Identity Theft Prevention Act," P.L.2005, c.226 (C.56:11-44 et al.) to provide that, in the event of any breach of security of computerized records, the disclosure to a customer whose personal information was breached shall be made within five business days, except as is consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement, or any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system. Current law requires that the disclosure be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, which is not changed under the bill. Current law also provides that disclosure of a breach of security to a customer shall not be required if the business or public entity establishes that misuse of the information is not reasonably possible. The bill clarifies that this determination can only be made after an appropriate investigation by the business or public entity and consultation with relevant federal, State and local agencies responsible for law enforcement.
AI Summary
This bill revises the Identity Theft Prevention Act by requiring businesses and public entities to notify customers within five business days of a security breach involving their personal information stored in computerized records, unless the delay is necessary for law enforcement investigations or to assess and fix the breach. The bill clarifies that an exemption from notification is only possible if, after a thorough investigation and consultation with law enforcement agencies, it's determined that the compromised information cannot be misused.
