HB 1562 Electronic identity management; standards, liability.
Introduced by: Thomas Davis Rust | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Electronic identity management; standards; liability. Creates the Identity Management Standards Advisory Council to advise the Secretaries of Technology and Transportation on the adoption of technical and data standards regarding the verification and authentication of identity in digital and online transactions. The bill establishes in the Code of Virginia the concept of an identity trust framework operator, an entity that establishes rules and policies for identity providers operating within the framework and issues electronic trustmarks to such providers signifying compliance with the rules and policies of that trust framework. The bill also establishes limitation on liability for providers that adhere to the adopted standards, the applicable contract terms, and the rules and policies of the identity trust framework provider, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct. The bill provides that the provider's adherence to the adopted standards and applicable contract terms of the identity framework shall satisfy any requirement for a commercially reasonable security or attribution procedure under Title 8.4A (Commercial Code), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (§ 59.1-479 et seq.), and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (§ 59.1-501.1 et seq.). This bill is identical to SB 814.
