Md. Senate Clears Data Breach Law Update

The Maryland Senate passed a proposed update to a state data breach law. Senators voted 45-0 Wednesday for HB-962. The House passed it last month but had to vote again due to Senate amendments. The Senate passed a companion bill, SB-643, last month, which is now pending in the House Economic Matters Committee. The state attorney general’s office supported the measure (see 2203160053).
