The process of creating a law begins with a policy idea. These ideas can come from a senator’s constituents or from organizations that advocate for new legislation. The idea then gets drafted into a bill. Once a draft is completed, the senator will present it to their colleagues for consideration. If the bill is passed, it becomes law. If the Governor vetoes the bill, it will remain law unless two-thirds of the members of both houses vote to override the veto.

This bill would amend the City’s data breach notification laws to align them with State law and to clarify requirements for determining what information is required to be disclosed to affected persons. It also would expand the circumstances in which a City agency must disclose private identifying information to its affected persons after suffering a data breach, including situations where the unauthorized disclosure is reasonably believed to have been caused by the actions of an unauthorized person.
