	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1656, as amended,  Feuer   Jones  .
 Pupil achievement: California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement
Data System.   Personal information: security breaches.
 
   (1) Existing law imposes specified duties upon certain persons or
businesses that conduct business in California to, among other
things, take reasonable steps to destroy customer records, implement
and maintain reasonable security measures, disclose a breach of
computerized data, and, upon request, provide specified information
to a customer in relation to the disclosure of personal information
to 3rd parties. For a violation of any of the above-described
provisions, existing law allows an injured customer to institute a
civil action to recover damages or for injunctive relief.  
   This bill would prohibit a person, business, or agency, as
defined, that sells goods or services to any resident of California
and accepts as payment a credit card, debit card, or other payment
device, from storing, retaining, sending, or failing to limit access
to payment-related data, as defined, retaining a primary account
number, or storing sensitive authentication data subsequent to an
authorization, as specified, unless a specified exception applies.
 
   (2) Existing law requires any agency, person, or business that
maintains computerized data that includes personal information that
the agency, person, or business does not own, to notify the owner or
licensee of the information of any breach of the security of the data
immediately following discovery, if the personal information was, or
is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized
person.  
   This bill would require that notification to the owner or licensee
of the information to include, among other things, a description of
the categories of personal information that were, or may have been,
acquired, a toll-free or local telephone number or e-mail address
that individuals may use to contact the agency, person, or business,
and the telephone numbers and addresses of the major credit reporting
agencies. If the owner or licensee of the information is the issuer
of the credit or debit card or the payment device, or maintains the
account from which the payment device orders payment or is an agency
required to give notice of a security breach, as specified, the bill
would require the owner or licensee to disclose the same information
to the California resident in plain language, as specified. 

   (3) Existing law requires any state agency, or a person or
business that conducts business in California, that owns or licenses
computerized data that includes personal information, as defined, to
disclose any breach of the security of that data to any resident of
California whose unencrypted personal information was, or is
reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person.
Existing law allows for that disclosure by written notice,
electronic notice, or, upon a specified condition, by substitute
notice, which, if utilized, also requires notification to major
statewide media.  
   This bill, if substitute notice is utilized, would require that
notice to also be provided to the Office of Information Security and
Privacy Protection.  
   The bill would specify that it would only become operative if SB
364 is enacted and takes effect on or before January 1, 2009. 

   Existing law requires the State Department of Education to
contract for the development of proposals that will provide for the
retention and analysis of longitudinal pupil achievement data on the
Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, English language
development tests, and the high school exit examination, known as the
California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. 

   This bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
with the approval of the State Board of Education, to establish and
maintain a unique coding system for educational institutions, as
deemed necessary by the Superintendent, for the purpose of
identifying and tracking enrollment, state and federal reporting
requirements, and specified other purposes. The state board would be
required to adopt regulations necessary to implement the coding
system.  
    The bill would also make technical changes. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
