California Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is again proposing data breach legislation to the US Congress. The bill is Bills S.139, the Notification of Risk to Personal Data Act and S.141, the Social Security Number Misuse Prevention Act. This is her second attempt at creating a federal law setting requirements for handling of personally identifiable information. It would require federal agencies as well as business to notify both media and the private person whose information was lost.
