What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

An affected entity's own primary regulator, not a private plaintiff, enforces the notice duty: the primary regulator may bring a civil action to compel compliance and enjoin further violations, and an agency, individual, or commercial entity that intentionally fails to give notice is subject to a fine of up to $25,000 per breach. The chapter creates no private right of action.
