AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the cybersecurity of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other smart devices. It does this by amending the existing Massachusetts law (Chapter 93H) to include definitions for "Internet of Things (IOT)" and "IOT Personal Data". The bill requires the Department of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation to adopt regulations to safeguard the personal information and IoT personal data of Massachusetts residents collected by IoT devices, including those used in autonomous vehicles. The regulations must ensure the security and confidentiality of this information, protect against anticipated threats or unauthorized access, and take into account the size, scope, and resources of the device manufacturers.
