A bill that substantially amends the Data Protection Act No. 19,628 is currently being reviewed and processed in the Senate.

The Senate Constitution Committee consolidated into one single text two bills amending the data protection act: the Motion submitted by Senators Harboe, Araya, De Urresti, Espina and Larraín, along with the Message from the former President, the content of which we commented on at length a year ago.

On Tuesday, April 3rd, the Senate approved in general the text of the consolidated bill by 42 votes in favor and one abstention. In order for the bill to become a law, its discussion in the Senate, in particular, and its discussion in the Chamber of Representatives, is still pending.
