In the absence of comprehensive federal privacy law, states are following California’s lead and proposing their own privacy bills. This blog post provides an overview of three state bills that we are tracking closely in this year’s legislative session: the Washington Privacy Act (“WAPA”), the New York Privacy Act (“NYPA”), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”).

Distinguishing between controllers and processors. Similar to the EU’s GDPR, all three bills distinguish between “controllers,” which generally determine the purposes and means for processing personal data, and “processors,” which process data on behalf of the controller.

The Act now sits with the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology. A companion bill, SB 1392, already passed the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology on January 27, 2021.
According to the Virginia General Assembly Session Calendar, Friday, February 5 is the deadline for each house to complete work on its own legislation, except for the budget bill. The Assembly will adjourn on February 11.

The Virginia General Assembly has been debating a range of legislation since convening for its 2021 session on Jan. 13.

“As Virginians continue to shelter at home due to COVID, I hear from constituents who live in apartments or condos concerned that their neighbors who smoke are making things even worse for their physical and mental health,” Keam said in a press release.
