AI Summary

  • Adds Section 56.08 to the Civil Code requiring health care providers, plans, and contractors to offer one year of free credit monitoring services when breaching security of a patient's social security number, driver's license number, California identification card number, or financial information (credit/debit card numbers)

  • Credit monitoring services must be offered in the breach notification required under Section 1798.82 or applicable federal law, and must be provided if the patient accepts the offer
