H.B. 224, a newly introduced data breach notification bill for New Mexico, would mandate that organizations notify breached individuals within 10 days of breach discovery (unencrypted credit card data); and within 10 business days notifying the state attorney general if more than 50 NM residents are affected.
The bill allows for a shorter notification deadline and for card carriers to sue for recovery costs linked to the breach; and customers can sue for statutory damages.
Companies operating in NM will also have additional data security and data disposal requirements, due to the bill. Enacting H.B. 224 would make New Mexico join 46 states who have data breach alert laws.
