Lawmakers jump start talks on privacy bill
Lawmakers are working through the August recess to cobble together legislation on data privacy after missing a deadline they set to unveil a bill before the summer break. Advocates for a federal data privacy standard are feeling a time crunch as they fret over the limited number of days left in this session and the upcoming 2020 elections. Most importantly, CA's strict new privacy law is slated to take effect in Jan, raising the stakes for lawmakers who were hoping to pass a federal law before the stringent state-level rules go into place.
