When the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) became law, it was only a matter of time before other states adopted their own statutes intending to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for their residents. After overwhelming support in the state legislature, Connecticut is about to become the fifth state with a comprehensive privacy law, as SB 6 awaits signature by Governor Ned Lamont.
If signed, the “Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring” (Act) will take effect January 1, 2023, the same day as the Colorado Consumer Privacy Act.
