Sens. Tom Carper (D-Delaware) and Roy Blunt (R-MO) introduced data security legislation meant to combat identity theft. The Data Security Act would require financial establishments, retailers and federal agencies to protect sensitive information and to notify consumers after a data breach. The measure is similar to one introduced in the House by Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-CA). The Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade Subcommittee approved her bill last week, and it is currently awaiting a vote from the full Energy and Commerce Committee.
