                               RESOLUTION


 
    Recognizing January 28, 2017, as ``National Data Privacy Day''.

Whereas, on January 28, 2017, National Data Privacy Day is recognized;
Whereas technology has enhanced our ability to communicate, learn, and work and 
        is now a part of our everyday lives;
Whereas personal information has become a form of currency;
Whereas it is easier now than ever before to share personal information with 
        friends, colleagues, and companies;
Whereas the sharing of personal information may compromise the privacy of 
        individuals if appropriate protective action is not taken;
Whereas governments, corporations, and individuals have a role in protecting the 
        privacy of individuals; and
Whereas National Data Privacy Day constitutes a nationwide effort to educate and 
        raise awareness about respecting privacy and safeguarding data: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes January 28, 2017, as ``National Data Privacy 
        Day''; and
            (2) encourages governments, individuals, privacy 
        professionals, educators, corporations, and other relevant 
        organizations to take steps to protect the privacy of 
        individuals.
                                 <all>
