This week legislatures in Florida, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin closed without passing bills while Maryland's bill was converted into a one-year study.
This week the Utah legislature passed the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, the Florida House passed HB 9, there was activity with bills in Connecticut, Nebraska and Washington, and Virginia lawmakers.
This week Indiana's bill continued to advance in the House (after previously passing the Senate), lawmakers voted bills out of committee in Iowa and Oklahoma, and new bills were introduced in Maine, Utah and Wisconsin.
