State AGs Urge FTC to Require Better GLBA Notices
Forty-four state attorneys general have urged the Federal Trade Commission to require clear and concise financial privacy notices under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The attorneys general have argued that businesses should send standardized notices that are easier to read. This action mirrors the movement of public interest and consumer groups that filed comments with federal agencies in July 2001 arguing that GLBA notices were too difficult to read, and that standard notices should be issued.44 Attorneys General, the D.C.
