JCOTS formed the Cybercrimes Advisory
Committee to study HB 254 (2006) and HB 1354 (2006) during the 2006
legislative interim. The charge of the advisory committee is to
determine what changes need to be made, if any, to further refine
these bills.
HB 254 ammends the Commonwealth's existing computer tresspass statute
by adding three provisions prohibiting certain forms of spyware.
In addition to the three provisions, there was a proposed amendment
exempting certain software providers from the three spyware provisions.
HB 1354 attempts to prohibit unsolicited text messages (spam) sent
to wireless devices in the Commonwealth. However, both the CAN-SPAM
Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) regulate certain
types of messages sent to wireless devices. This advisory committee
will need to determine what types of messages the state may regulate
and if there is a sufficient need for regulation at this time.
All materials, bills, and memos are posted under the meeting materials
for the Cybercrimes Advisory Committee.
