Breach Laws Charts
At The Privacy Symposium that Harvard Law just held, I had a fascinating conversation with Julie Machal-Fulks of the law firm of Scott & Scott. Scott and Scott have published a one page breach laws chart, with just five variables.
Julie Brill of the Vermont Attorney General’s office also mentioned that she maintains a chart. (She also had insightful things to say about the so-called “patchwork” of laws, and where the effort to comply goes: to report to the smallest fraction of customers that a company may report to.)

If you know of others, please let us know. I’ll update this post as I learn more.
Perhaps the source that should be considered authoritative on the subject, the National Conference of State Legislators:
