The state of Maine has modified their data breach notification law to require that individuals affected by a data breach be notified no later than 7 days after a law enforcement agency determines the notification will not compromise the investigation.Maine Governor John E. Baldacci signed Public Law 161-1 in May, making this change, and a few others, to the existing data breach notification law. Most states do not specify a time period for notification to go out, instead putting something to the effect of "without unreasonable delay."
You can read the full amendment to the law here [PDF]. The changes will go into effect on September 15, 2009.
