Here it is once again: Effective July 1, 2008, Senate Bill 1613 provides that it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle while using a wireless telephone, unless a hands-free device for the cell phone is used. Report Link California Expands Data Breach Notification Requirements to Include Medical and Health Insurance Information.Jackson Lewis LLP - October 31, 2007 Certain medical information and health insurance information will be included in the type of personal information triggering notifications of unauthorized access in California, effective January 1, 2008. In 2003, California was the first state to enact breach notification legislation. Since then, most other states have followed. These statutes help protect individuals from the effects of the misuse of their personal information by requiring state agencies and businesses aware of unauthorized access to such information to notify the affected individuals as soon as possible.

If this decision takes on steam, we may see more such rulings in states throughout this country.
