State Comprehensive Privacy Law Update – April 3, 2023

The past two weeks have seen continued progress on proposed comprehensive privacy legislation across multiple states. Most notably, on March 28, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed SF 262 into law, officially making Iowa the sixth state with a comprehensive privacy law. Elsewhere, new bills were proposed in Louisiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. With Louisiana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania's proposals, we have now seen 24 states propose comprehensive privacy legislation during this legislative session.

While no bills have cleared legislative chambers since our last update, bills in Oklahoma and New Hampshire that have already passed one chamber have continued to progress in the opposite chamber. Elsewhere, bills in Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Florida moved forward in the committee process.
