A. A violation of the Security Breach Notification Act that

results in injury or loss to residents of this state may be enforced

breaches of a similar nature that are determined in a single

notice required by Section 163 of this title.

C. 1. An individual or entity that uses reasonable safeguards

and provides notice as required by Section 163 or 164 of this title

Breach Notification Act.

safeguards but provides notice as required by Section 163 or 164 of

this title shall not be subject to the civil penalty set forth in
