Breach of security; report to the Attorney General.

SB 2046 requires businesses handling Mississippi residents' personal data to report major security breaches to the Attorney General's office if over 100 people are affected. It defines a "breach" as unauthorized access to unencrypted personal information (like names combined with Social Security numbers, driver's license details, or credit card numbers). Businesses must notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay and provide written details to the Attorney General, including breach specifics and support services offered. The bill would have taken effect July 1, 2025, but died in committee before becoming law.
