The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act’s text is now finalized ahead of its Jan. 1, 2023 effective date, after Gov. Glenn Youngkin, R-Va., signed three amendment bills into law, according to Husch Blackwell’s “Byte Back.” The bills — which will go into effect July 1, 2022 — add a new exemption to the legislation’s right to delete, direct penalties, expenses and recovered attorney fees to a different fund than the Consumer Privacy Fund provision, and modify the definition of nonprofit. Editor’s note: Former IAPP Westin Research Fellow Sarah Rippy reported on the VCDPA’s passage.
