MS HB1625

Requires business entities conducting business in Mississippi that experience a breach of security affecting more than 100 residents to notify the Office of the Attorney General without unreasonable delay.

Defines "breach of security" as unauthorized acquisition of unencrypted personal information including social security numbers, driver's license numbers, or financial account numbers with security codes.

Mandates that written notice to the Attorney General include a breach synopsis, number of affected individuals, any free services being offered, and contact information for additional details about the breach.

Makes failure to comply with notification requirements an unfair trade practice enforceable by the Attorney General, but does not create a private right of action for individuals.

Information submitted to the Attorney General under this section is exempt from the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983.
