CONCORD, NH—Today, the Senate voted 24-0 to pass Senate Bill 194, relative to establishing the Insurance Data Security Law.

“As data security becomes increasingly relevant in the 21st-century economy, New Hampshire needs to move forward and establish our own data security laws and take measures to safeguard the private health care information of Granite Staters.
