Michele Donohue at The NonProfit Times reports:

Fred Schultz, CEO and founder of the Foundation for Positively Kids (FPK) in Las Vegas, deals with a lot of confidential information in his program for medically-dependent children. The organization stores names, addresses, medication, family information and donor credit card information.

A good portion of that information arrived via email. That system now must be overhauled to accommodate a new Nevada law that requires personal information transmissions to be encrypted.

The Nevada law, which falls under Nevada’s Miscellaneous Trade Regulations and Prohibited Acts, states that personal information cannot be transferred through electronic transmission outside a secure system unless it’s encrypted.
