Big news in DC: a new bipartisan, bicameral proposal for a “compromise” federal privacy bill, the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA). At this point, take it all with a grain of salt; in 2022, the initial draft of the bill was promising, but it got weakened substantially by the subcommittee and then weakened further by the committee. I haven’t read the discussion draft yet so don’t have any strong opinions on it.

    State preemption should make this dead on arrival.

    Huh, a wild “States Rights” argument appears! Are you SURE that’s what you want? It would certainly make Texas and other Red States pretty damn happy if their laws had supremacy over Federal ones.
