The committee passed S. 139, the Data Breach Notification Act, introduced by
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), by a vote of 14 to 2, and S. 1490, the
Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2009, introduced by Sen. Patrick
J. Leahy (D-Vt.), with a vote of 11 to 5.
Committee approval does not ensure final passage by the full Senate. The
Leahy bill has been introduced in two previous Congresses and has twice made
it out of the committee without being passed on the floor.
Data breach notification already is federal policy under directives issued
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) following the theft of a
Veterans Affairs laptop with records on millions of individuals.
