Despite the short session, Virginia legislators could vote Friday to pass a comprehensive privacy bill modeled after Washington state’s proposal.
Industry stakeholders believe the lack of debate to include a private right of action, which Virginia’s bill doesn’t have, is the main item contributing to its speedy passage.
For years, U.S. lawmakers looking to craft their own privacy bills have only had two models to follow: the California Consumer Privacy Act and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.
But if all goes as expected in Virginia this month, the state could soon provide another blueprint that industry stakeholders, especially, would prefer to see replicated in other states and on the federal level.
