Direct answer
What is Kansas's data breach notification law?
Kansas's breach notification law (Kan. Stat. sect. 50-7a01 et seq.) requires businesses to notify affected residents in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay after a breach of personal information. Kansas requires businesses to notify affected residents of breaches of unencrypted personal information without unreasonable delay, once misuse becomes reasonably likely.
