Throughout the month of March, states continued to introduce new privacy laws of their own as Congress focused on enacting President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 which President Biden signed into law on March 11.
The last month notably featured several key developments in California, as the state announced the establishment of the five-member inaugural board for the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), a new administrative agency created by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and charged with implementing and enforcing the state’s privacy laws.

Turns out that Florida’s greatest rivalry is not between FSU and UF. Rather, it appears to be between businesses and consumers. At least, that is how it appears to be if you examine the Florida Legislature’s latest maneuverings on the proposed Florida Consumer Data Privacy Act.

Do business in Florida;
Collect personal information about consumers, or is the entity on behalf of which the information is collected;
