Bill > HR3360

This bill, titled the Defense Against Digital Theft Act, mandates that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) provide affected individuals, whose personal information was compromised in data breaches at the Department of the Interior or OPM, with complimentary identity protection coverage. This coverage must be at least as comprehensive as what was previously offered, last for a minimum of 10 years, and include at least $5 million in identity theft insurance. Furthermore, the OPM is required to issue regulations ensuring that individuals whose credit scores were negatively impacted by these breaches are not disqualified from accessing classified information solely due to their credit score. The bill also establishes a task force composed of agency heads, IT security experts, and representatives from various employee and veteran organizations to develop recommendations for mitigating the negative consequences of these data breaches. An "affected individual" is defined as anyone whose personally identifiable information was compromised in either the June 4, 2015, breach of Federal employee records at the Department of the Interior, or the breach of OPM systems containing background investigation information for current, former, and prospective Federal employees.
