In the weeks since our last update, we have seen continued progress in several state legislatures on comprehensive privacy legislation. Most notably, legislative chambers in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Georgia have passed comprehensive privacy bills. Meanwhile, new proposals continue to enter the fray — in addition to the aforementioned West Virginia bill (which went from introduction to chamber passage in less than a week), new bills have also been introduced in Missouri and Rhode Island (the latter’s first comprehensive privacy bill of the year). By our count, at least 11 states have now introduced new comprehensive privacy legislation in the 2024 legislative session.
