Note that the article is misleading. The law takes effect July 1, 2011 (not 2010, as implied in the text). Link to the law itself is http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2010/pdf/HB/0500-0599/HB0583SG.pdf cw On Apr 16, 2010, at 8:50 AM, lyger wrote:
http://www.esecurityplanet.com/features/article.php/3876906/Mississippi-Passes-Data-Breach-Notification-Law.htm Mississippi this week became the 46th state to pass legislation requiring businesses and government agencies to immediately notify people when their personal information has been compromised by either an accidental or deliberate data breach. House Bill 583, which was signed into law this week by Gov. Haley Barbour, goes into effect on July 1 and requires "any person who conducts business" in the state to disclose any breach to all affected individuals without unreasonable delay. It further compels organizations to alert appropriate law enforcement agencies of the data breach and to initiate their own internal investigations to determine both the scope and nature of the incident.
