2021 Privacy Law: State Statutes Pending

Brownstein Podcast Series

In 2021, more than 17 states so far have introduced some form of privacy-related legislation, and there’s likely more to come. Shareholders Alissa Gardenswartz and David Hale discuss Virginia’s imminent Consumer Data Protection Act and other state laws poised for passage, the legislative volley over a federal privacy statute, lessons learned from other consumer protection laws and the potential frustration for businesses and consumers alike. When this podcast was recorded, Virginia had not yet passed its new privacy law.
