PAGA reform finally on the horizon
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that legislative leadership, in partnership with business and labor groups, reached an agreement on long-needed reforms to the Private Attorneys General Act.
Australia | Publication | October 2023
On 12 October 2023, the Government introduced the Information Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 (Bill) to Queensland Parliament which, amongst other things, establishes a mandatory data breach notification scheme (MDBN Scheme) in Queensland. The Bill is consistent with the recommendations in the Coaldrake Review and is currently under consideration by the Education, Employment and Training Committee.
It is unclear when the Bill will pass, however, if enacted, the MDBN Scheme will apply to all Queensland state and local government agencies that are subject to the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld) (Privacy Act). Notably, the Queensland government will take a phased approach to implement the MDBN Scheme and local councils will be subject to a 12-month transition period to mitigate the resourcing impacts and costs involved to comply with the scheme.
Non-compliance with the MDBN Scheme may result in a privacy complaint being made to the Minister, compliance action under the Privacy Act or an order by the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal for compensatory payments to the individual affected.
If you have any queries in respect to the potential effect of the MDBN Scheme, please feel free to contact:
