If you deal with government information assets there already is such a
law.  The EEA (Economic Espionage Act) requires due diligence with regards
to safeguarding intellectual property.  At least that's how the law was
explained at NetSec (CSI) seminars last year.  Looking through the EEA
documentation available on the web however doesn't turn up any specific
references to due diligence.
