The act mandates an investigation and correction of compromised information systems, detailed reporting to the insurance commissioner and notification to consumers within 60 days unless federal law or law enforcement agencies require or request modified timelines. Through the act, consumers must be provided credit monitoring services at no cost for at least one year in addition to receiving information about freezing one's credit.
