Rep. George Radanovich, R-Calif., said he supported the bill partly because of a 2005 incident involving Atlanta-based data aggregation company ChoicePoint, which experienced a data breach that exposed 128,000 records and resulted in 5,000 cases of identity theft. Data breaches cause "consumer confusion and unnecessary expense," Radanovich said, noting that the issue was particularly important to consumer confidence during the current economic downturn.
