Politico reports privacy advocates are urging state-level privacy proposals that closely align with the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, which died in Congress last year. State Sen. Shelli Yoder, D-Ind., said the ADPPA's failure "put us in a position of needing to do something." A total of 16 states have proposed their own data privacy bills so far this year. However, TechNet Vice President of State Policy and Government Relations David Edmonson said Congress' inaction is "allowing a patchwork of state laws to grow." Editor's note: The IAPP's "US State Privacy Legislation Tracker" keeps track of state legislative updates.
