SB 824 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of December 22, 2005 (P.L.474, No.94), known as the Breach of Personal Information Notification Act, further providing for definitions, for notification of the breach of the security of the system and for notification of consumer reporting agencies; and providing for credit reporting and monitoring.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Breach of Personal Information Notification Act to clarify how different types of organizations must handle data security incidents. It specifically adds an exemption for entities already regulated under the state's insurance data security laws, meaning they do not need to follow the notification rules in this updated act. The change ensures that insurance companies are not required to provide duplicate breach notifications under this specific legislation. This update streamlines compliance requirements by avoiding overlapping rules for the insurance sector.
