HB499 amends Article 34 of Chapter 1 of Title 10 of the OCGA
by making stylistic changes. The word “Covered entity” is added in multiple
plays to mean a data collector, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation,
trust, estate, cooperation, association, or other commercial entity. The term
information broker is removed. In addition, personal information is defined. In
case of an information breach in a covered entity, the individuals effected,
the Attorney General, and the Governor shall receive a notice. The Attorney General can investigate breaches
and can be fined $500.00 for failure to notify individuals. |
