DenDekker Applauds Cuomo’s Signing SHIELD Act

Assemblyman Michael DenDekker

Assembly Member Michael DenDekker (D-Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, part of Woodside) Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s signing of the Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security – or SHIELD – Act (S.5575B/A.5635).

The measure imposes stronger obligations on businesses handling private data to provide proper notification to affected consumers when there is a security breach. The Governor also signed legislation (A.2374/S.3582) requiring consumer credit reporting agencies to offer identity theft prevention and mitigation services to consumers who have been affected by a security breach of the agency’s system.

“As technology seeps into practically every aspect of our daily lives, it is increasingly critical that we do everything we can to ensure the information that companies are trusted with is secure,”  Cuomo said. “The stark reality is security breaches are becoming more frequent and with this legislation, New York is taking steps to increase protections for consumers and holding these companies accountable when they mishandle sensitive data.”

 

DenDekker, Chair of the Assembly’s Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection, said he was proud to partner with the attorney general’s office, the senate and the governor’s office to introduce this legislation that will help protect consumers personal information and hold those entrusted with sensitive private data to certain standards with regard to its’ proper storage and protection. 

“The bill also outlines if a breach of information occurs, that proper notifications must be made in a timely manner,” he added.

Assemblymember David Weprin

Assemblyman David I. Weprin (D-Richmond Hill, Fresh Meadows) and the Zero Abuse Project on Tuesday will host a free seminar entitled “Courageous Conversations, Critical Choices: What New York’s Child Victims Act Means for Queens.”
