The sponsor's argument

Why Leroy Comrie says this is needed

Recent headlines have been dominated by a. massive data breach that impacted the largest credit-reporting firm in the United States. This breach is estimated to have effected 143 million Americans, or 44t of the population. Millions suddenly found that their birthdates, home addresses, telephone numbers, and, in some cases, even their social security numbers and drivers license numbers had been leaked. The implications of such a large scale and egregious breach of consumer data security are serious. Millions have been exposed to the possibility of becoming victims identity theft. This can lead to ongoing credit problems and major costs to consumers to remedy the damage done. We must do more to make sure that data breaches are prevented. But just as important, is making sure consumers and law enforcement have the tools available to mitigate damage as soon as a breach occurs. This bill, part of a larger package that will target consumer data breaches at every stage, will provide one of those tools. This bill will require that companies that suffer a breach provide free credit monitoring services to victims for up to one year following the discovery of the breach. Credit monitoring is key to identifying the occurrence of identity theft. This bill is a significant step toward putting power back in the hands of the consumer.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
