Highlights
Virginia appears poised to enact consumer privacy legislation by the end of the month, although the law would not be effective until Jan. 1, 2023.
The absence of a private right of action earned the bill broad support in both houses of the Virginia Assembly.
The state s Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA) would grant Virginia residents General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-style rights of access, correction, deletion, to opt out of processing for certain purposes and to obtain copies of their personal data.
Additional states, including New York and Washington, could follow suit later this year.
Virginia seemingly came out of nowhere on the consumer privacy front and now appears to be just days away from becoming the second state in the nation, behind California, to pass comprehensive consumer privacy legislation.
