Congressional staff provide window into federal privacy law talks

The Washington Post reports on federal privacy law discussions presented by U.S. Congressional aides at the IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2022. Staff members for Senate Commerce Chairwoman Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and U.S. Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., shared details on the current state of lawmakers' work toward a comprehensive bipartisan framework, which staff members indicated may come together before the end of the year. The aides also discussed less partisan friction around issues like a private right of action and potential preemption.
