Ohio recently passed a bill that requires that subjects be notified of data loss whenever it poses risk of identity theft. It is HB 104 in the 126th Session. Took effect on 2/16. Here is the summary: *require a state agency, an agency of a political subdivision, or a person, including a business entity that does business in Ohio, to contact individuals residing in Ohio if unencrypted or unredacted personal information about those individuals that is included in computerized data owned or licensed by the agency, person, or business entity is accessed and acquired by unauthorized persons and causes or reasonably is believed will create a material risk of the commission of the offense of identity fraud or other fraud to the individual, and to authorize the Attorney General to investigate and enforce compliance with the requirements. *It can be viewed here: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=126_HB_0104 Halbert On 2/22/06, Saundra Kae Rubel <privacylaws () sbcglobal net> wrote:
