Big news in DC: a new bipartisan, bicameral proposal for a “compromise” federal privacy bill, the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA). At this point, take it all with a grain of salt; in 2022, the initial draft of the bill was promising, but it got weakened substantially by the subcommittee and then weakened further by the committee. I haven’t read the discussion draft yet so don’t have any strong opinions on it.
Floor not ceiling preemption is a thing. And last year TEXAS passed data broker registration bill. I do trust the Texas legislature to be more likely to be able to get stuff done into the future then congress.
