States
10 US state attorney general breach-notification registers ingested on Breach Census, each with its own notice count.
Several US states publish their own register of data-breach notifications filed with the state attorney general (or, in Hawaii's case, the Office of Consumer Protection). Each state sets its own statute, its own threshold for when a filing is required, and its own definition of what the published affected-count actually counts — see each state's own page for its specifics.

Questions and answers
Are these all the US states with a breach-notification law?
No. Most US states require breach notification, but only the states listed here publish a register Breach Census currently ingests directly.
What does a state's notice count mean?
It is the number of state_ag_notice filings on file for that state that are tied to a confirmed, visible incident on this site — not every filing that state has ever received, only the ones ingested here.
