HB 731 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Corporate breach of security; require reports to the Attorney General.

HB 731 requires businesses handling Mississippi residents' sensitive personal data (such as names combined with Social Security numbers or financial information) to report significant security breaches to the Attorney General when notifying over 100 affected individuals. Businesses must also notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay and provide the Attorney General with details like the breach scope, available support services, and contact information. Failure to comply would be treated as an unfair trade practice enforceable by the Attorney General. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted.
