AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes a 2017 federal law that provides identity protection coverage to people whose personal information was exposed in federal agency data breaches. It would remove the 2026 end date so the coverage continues every fiscal year after 2016, make the coverage last for the rest of each affected person's life, and require at least $5,000,000 in identity theft insurance. It would also let federal agencies use their salary and expense funds to repay employees, and contractor staff who support the agency, for up to 100 percent of the cost of services that remove or reduce their personal information. Those repayments would depend on the person giving the agency any documents it reasonably requires.
