Katie Lannan reports:

A compromise bill filed Tuesday by a House-Senate conference committee would afford Massachusetts residents a year and a half of free credit monitoring services if their personal data and Social Security number are compromised by a data security breach.

Bill information:   H4806

Headline corrected post-publication. I had used WBUR’s headline, which unfortunately said “Protest” instead of “Protect.” Thanks to the Twitter user who alerted me to it.
