On January 28, which is recognized globally as Data Privacy Day, US Representatives Bobby L. Rush (D-IL) and Joe Barton (R-TX) reintroduced the Data Accountability and Trust Act (H.R. 580). The DATA Act would require businesses to implement effective security policies and procedures to safeguard consumers' personal information. Businesses would be required to notify individual consumers, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), of consumer data breaches or when personal information had been accessed or acquired by unauthorized persons. The legislation would authorize the FTC to define the appropriate security policies and procedures and to take enforcement actions and assess civil penalties up to $5 million for violations of the law's information security policies or notification requirements.
