Source: IAPP Five states are making progress this year toward passing privacy legislation along the lines of California s Consumer Privacy Act, according to the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
If Virginia, Minnesota, New York, Washington and Oklahoma succeed in enacting new privacy laws this year, the total number of states with privacy regulations would go up to eight, says Caitlin Fennessy, research director at the IAPP. Previously, Maine and Nevada, in addition to California, each enacted legislation. Virginia s House and Senate have both passed a version of the Consumer Data Protection Act, suggesting the state could soon have a comprehensive privacy law, Fennessy says. Oklahoma s bill has bipartisan support, and Washington s reflects years of legislative efforts. Meanwhile, companies are following New York s legislative activity closely given the state s economic weight. There are a lot of near-term possibilities on the horizon.
