Connecticut Is On The Privacy Move

On April 28, 2022, the Connecticut legislature took the final step to become very close to passing comprehensive consumer privacy legislation as the Connecticut House of Representatives voted 144-5 in favor of Senate Bill 6, "An Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy And Online Monitoring," (the "Connecticut Data Privacy Act," or the "CDPA," as we refer to it in this article). The bill already unanimously cleared the Senate on April 20, 2022, and now sits on Governor Ned Lamont's desk for signature – which most expect will happen. The 2022 legislative session adjourns today (May 4) and the Governor has 15 days to either sign the CDPA, allow it to become law at the end of the 15 day period without his signature, or veto.
