The Alabama Data Breach Notification Act takes effect June 1, 2018. In an hour-long, conference call, attorney Ted Hosp, one of the primary negotiators on the legislation, reviews steps for businesses to take under the new law should sensitive consumer or customer information be stolen. The recorded call, geared toward owners, managers and data managers, is a benefit of membership in the Alabama Retail Association or the Automobile Dealers of Alabama. In his remarks, Mr. Hosp closely follows this outline. You may want to print the outline out or at least open it on your screen before hitting play on the recording below.
