The Washington Post reports U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Chair Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., will not support the American Data Privacy and Protection Act as currently constituted. Cantwell's potential opposition was previously known, but she made clear the current bill carries "major enforcement holes" and asked Senate and House counterparts to "come back to the table on something strong." Cantwell added Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., indicated there's "no way they’re bringing that bill up in the Senate."
