The chairman of the Assembly’s Banking and Finance Committee is proposing that in the event of a breach of government data, California state and local agencies would be required to provide identity theft protection or mitigation services at no cost to constituents whose personal data may have been compromised.

The idea is the central purpose of the reintroduced legislation (AB 241) put forward this week by Assemblyman Matt Dababneh, D-Encino. State law already extends the same requirements to businesses or individuals. Under Dababneh’s bill, the free identity theft protection would be offered for a period of at least 12 months.
