Regards political subdivisions and specified cybersecurity

This bill expands legal protection for local governments, such as counties and municipalities, by including them alongside private businesses in state cybersecurity laws. It defines a data breach as unauthorized access to sensitive information that creates a risk of identity theft or fraud, while explicitly excluding incidents caused by internal employees acting in good faith or by legal court orders. By amending the existing statute, the legislation ensures that political subdivisions can claim immunity from certain penalties if they follow a specified cybersecurity program when handling personal or restricted data.
