For the second time in three months, Massachusetts officials have pushed back the deadline for companies to comply with a controversial set of data security regulations that the state announced last September.In addition to the deadline extension, which was announced late yesterday, the state's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR) also revised a key provision in the regulations that had prompted considerable concern within the business community both inside and outside of Massachusetts. Under the new deadline, businesses now have until the start of next year to comply with the regulations, which are aimed at protecting the personal data of Massachusetts residents (download PDF). Prior to the extension, the compliance deadline was May 1. That date was set in November, when the OCABR extended its original deadline of Jan. 1.
