SB2128

Requires entities to notify the Attorney General of security breaches involving personal information of Mississippi residents.

Mississippi SB2128 amends the state code to mandate that businesses operating in the state must report security breaches involving personal information of Mississippi residents to the Attorney General. The bill defines "breach of security" as unauthorized acquisition of electronic files or data containing personal information. The Attorney General is authorized to create rules and regulations to enforce these provisions, and failure to comply is considered an unfair trade practice. The bill also outlines the methods and content of the required notices.
