Keypoint: Five states are now considering online privacy legislation.
Virginia and Oklahoma join Washington, New York and Minnesota as states where lawmakers have proposed online privacy legislation this year. It is expected that lawmakers in other states will propose similar legislation in the coming weeks. As discussed in our prior posts, the fact the legislation has been proposed is not indicative of whether it has any chance of becoming law. Since lawmakers passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in 2018 numerous states have considered similar bills, but none of them has become law. That said, presumably one day another state (or more) will join California in passing such legislation.

UMass is led by a president who oversees the UMass system and by a chancellor at each UMass campus. It is also governed by a board of trustees composed of 22 members: 17 members appointed by the Governor for five-year terms and 5 UMass students elected by the student body for one-year terms.
