Efforts to Address the Lack of Federal Data Privacy Legislation in the U.S. Have Continued -
The need for federal data privacy legislation was reiterated in the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce meeting in April 2023. The hearing focused on the need for comprehensive privacy legislation to replace the ‘piecemeal sector-specific approach’ within existing U.S. laws. It was stated that these laws do not consistently protect consumers. The House Energy and Commerce Committee sent the comprehensive American Data Privacy and Protection Act to the full House of Representatives last year following a nearunanimous 53-2 vote, but the bill did not advance from there. It is anticipated to be reintroduced this year.
