MADISON, Wis. — Even though it has not been on the front pages as much this year, executives with CUNA Mutual and several credit union leagues say the card data security issue remained high on at least some state legislative calendars in 2008.
"It's our impression the issue is very much alive," said Christopher Roe, CUNA Mutual Group senior vice president for corporate and legal affairs. Even though Roe acknowledged that the breaches this year have generally not been the large ones that grab headlines in the mainstream press, he said, the overall number of card security breaches are growing at a record clip.
Other league executives from states that mounted card security legislative efforts also reported a lot of energy around the issue. "I have even had legislators come up to me and tell me that they wish it had passed," said Tom Lieb, vice president for governmental affairs for the Wisconsin Credit Union League. "They see it as an issued tied into a lot of other different consumer issues and look forward to supporting it next year."
