Requires any person, business, or State agency that maintains computerized data that includes vulnerable personal information that the person, business, or State agency 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 vulnerable personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been acquired by an unauthorized person.
