Nevada has enacted a data security law that mandates encryption for the 
transmission of personal information (see Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.970 
(2005)).  Specifically, the Nevada encryption statute generally prohibits 
a business in Nevada from transferring "any personal information of a 
customer through an electronic transmission," except via facsimile, 
"unless the business uses encryption to ensure the security of electronic 
transmission."[1] The Nevada encryption law goes into effect on October 1, 
2008.
