Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, re-introduced a bill that would establish a national standard for the notification to consumers by corporations when data breaches occur.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) cosponsored the Personal Data Privacy and Security Act, a reiteration of bills by the same name that have failed in each of the three previous Congresses.
