Yes, that law.

IIRC, you have to encrypt data that isn't yours (I think it was CC #,
SSN and a couple others). If you have unencrypted data that gets
hacked into you have to report that to the people who's data has been
stolen. Now, you have to define "data that you don't own", but to
cover our butts, we are looking into this to conform to this new law.
Unfortunately, the vendor we use isn't going to support this, so we
will probably have to do some sort of hacked thing.
