State: California
The legislation: Assemblyman Matt Dababneh sought to apply the standard applied to business of requiring 1 year of ID theft protection services for anyone who is impacted by any government breach in California. AB 241 (2017)
The Opposition is winning as the bill stalls. The loyal opposition includes California State Assn. of Counties, the Urban Counties of California, and the League of California Cities
Opposition arguments:
- it would cost cities & counties too much
- state agencies store their information in shared data centers so it would be too hard to discern whcih agency should pay the cost of the services
