It's my understanding that, according to the US Constitution, the authority to regulate interstate commerce lies in the US Congress (Article 1, Section 8- I think. ). Could someone explain how this is Constitutional?

That aside, I think it is a good idea- perhaps the requirement of going public if there is a breach will encourage companies to put more emphasis on security... However, I think this is a national issue- not a state issue.
