Pataki Signs Identity Theft Bill

To guarantee right to know what information was exposed

New York Gov. George E. Pataki signed the "Information Security Breach and Notification Act," to "guarantee state residents the right to know what information was exposed during a breach, so that they can take the necessary steps to both prevent and repair any damage they may incur."

The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman James F. Brennan, is modeled after the California law.
