State-Level Momentum for Comprehensive Privacy Bills Reaches All-Time High

State-level momentum for comprehensive privacy bills is currently at an all-time high, with various states across the U.S. proposing and enacting legislation to address privacy concerns. The IAPP Westin Research Center is actively tracking these bills to keep members informed of the evolving state privacy landscape.

The center has compiled a detailed chart that identifies key provisions in the proposed and enacted comprehensive privacy laws, providing a comprehensive overview of the changing regulatory environment. The chart includes fourteen provisions commonly found in these laws, categorized into consumer rights and business obligations.

While not all proposed bills will become law, comparing the key provisions helps to understand how privacy regulations are developing in the U.S. The Westin Research Center periodically updates the chart to reflect the latest developments, with previous versions available for reference.

Enacted state comprehensive privacy laws are also highlighted in the chart, showcasing the states that have taken a proactive approach to governing the use of personal information. These laws are designed to protect consumer rights and impose obligations on businesses to ensure data privacy.
