What this bill does
H.Res. 1411 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for designating January 28, 2009, as "National Data Privacy Day." It does not create any new laws, regulations, or funding; instead, it states the House's position that this date should be recognized to raise public awareness about protecting personal information online. The resolution cites the growing role of the Internet and technology in daily life—at work, in dealings with government, in health care, in e-commerce, and online generally—as reasons why data privacy awareness is important.
The resolution primarily affects public awareness efforts rather than any specific group through binding requirements. It encourages state and local governments to hold activities marking the day, encourages privacy professionals and educators to discuss data privacy issues with high school students, and encourages individuals nationwide to be more aware of data privacy risks and to take steps to protect their own personal information online. No individuals, businesses, or agencies would be legally required to act.
The bill was introduced on August 1, 2008, by Rep. David Price of North Carolina during the 110th Congress and was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. According to official records, it did not receive a vote and saw no further action before that Congress ended, meaning it did not become law.
