On June 16, New Mexico's data breach notification law became
effective, leaving Alabama and South Dakota as the only states
without such laws. The law governs data breach notification
requirements for entities storing and using personal identifying
information about New Mexico residents and also establishes
requirements for securing and disposing of that information. The
bill generally requires notification to affected consumers in the
event of a breach within 45 days of discovery of the breach.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
