There are 45 laws if you are counting the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Your list is missing Iowa and West Virginia. Check out the National Conference of State Legislatures list. Its a good place to keep tabs.

well, a map would be nice. perhaps color-coded by date that the law went into effect.

Thanks for your suggestion, Davi!
A map similar to what you describe is located at http://www.csoonline.com/article/221322/CSO_Disclosure_Series_Data_Breach_Notification_Laws_State_By_State/1. It is not up-to-date, though.
BTW, here's my more recent listing with the 45 current laws: http://www.privacyguidance.com/files/US_Breach_Notification_Laws_as_of_5.22.08.pdf.
I was thinking about doing something that isn't already out there in an easy-to-understand format. Perhaps a quick analysis/overview of the encryption specifications for each law, or the disclosure requirements for each law, etc.
Thanks again!

Rebecca:
The two links in your June 18 reply are dead ends.

Hi Frank, it sounds like you did a copy and paste of the URLs; the entire URLs do not show in my reply because of the space limitations of the reply function. However, if you click them you'll find the links are fine.
