13
This

security
breach
protection.
15
The
bill
makes
several
changes
to
the
definitions
listed
16
in
Code
section
715C.1.
The
bill
expands
the
definition
of
17
“breach
of
security”
to
include
the
reasonable
belief
of
18
unauthorized
acquisition
of
personal
information,
which
may
19
be
in
any
form,
including
electronic
or
paper
form.
However,
20
the
bill
removes
the
unauthorized
acquisition
of
personal
21
information
that
was
transferred
from
computerized
form
to
22
another
medium
from
the
definition
of
“breach
of
security”.
23
The
definition
of
“encryption”
is
modified
to
mean
the
use
of
24
an
128-bit
or
higher
algorithmic
process.
The
bill
modifies
25
the
definition
of
“personal
information”
by
providing
that
26
it
may
include
a
financial
account
number,
credit
card
27
number,
or
debit
card
number
alone.
The
bill
also
includes
28
certain
medical
information,
health
insurance
information,
29
tax
information,
and
electronic
account
information
in
the
30
definition
of
“personal
information”.
31
Current
law
requires
a
person
who
owns
or
licenses
personal
32
information
that
is
subject
to
a
breach
of
security
to
give
33
notice
to
affected
consumers
in
the
most
expeditious
manner
34
possible
and
without
unreasonable
delay.

such
notice
to
affected
consumers
must
occur
no
later
than

45
days
after
the
discovery
of
the

Current
law
provides
that
a
person
who
owns
or
licenses
3
personal
information
that
is
subject
to
breach
of
security
does
4
not
need
to
provide
notification
of
the
security
breach
to
5
affected
consumers
if
the
person
makes
a
written
determination
6
that
there
is
no
reasonable
likelihood
of
financial
harm
to
7
affected
consumers.
The
bill
removes
the
term
“financial”,
8
allowing
a
person
to
refrain
from
providing
notification
if
9
the
person
makes
a
written
determination
that
there
is
no
10
reasonable
likelihood
of
harm
to
affected
consumers.
The
11
bill
also
requires
a
person
who
makes
such
a
determination
12
to
provide
this
written
determination
to
the
director
of
the
13
consumer
protection
division
of
the
office
of
the
attorney
14
general
within
five
business
days
after
documenting
the
15
determination.
16
Current
law
requires
a
person
who
owns
or
licenses
personal
17
information
that
is
subject
to
a
breach
of
security
requiring
18
notification
to
more
than
500
consumers
in
the
state,
as
19
required
by
Code
section
715C.2,
to
give
written
notice
20
of
the
breach
of
security
to
the
director
of
the
consumer
21
protection
division
of
the
office
of
the
attorney
general.
22
The
bill
provides
that
written
notification
to
the
attorney
23
general
is
also
required
for
breaches
of
security
where
24
written
notification
to
more
than
500
consumers
in
the
state
25
is
required
by
a
person’s
primary

federal
26
regulator,
a
state
or
federal
law
that
gives
greater
protection
27
to
personal
information
than
provided
in

28
or
certain
federal
law.
The
