Keypoint: Pending the governor’s signature, Iowa will become the sixth state to pass consumer data privacy legislation.

On March 15, 2023, the Iowa House voted 97-0 to pass SF 262. The bill previously passed the Senate by a vote of 47-0. The bill was procedurally messaged back to the Senate. Pending any remaining procedural hurdles and the governor’s signature, Iowa will become the sixth state to pass consumer data privacy legislation with a bill that rivals Utah as the most business-friendly legislation passed to date.

In the below post, we provide a comparison of the Iowa bill to the five existing state privacy laws. You also can access a PDF of the comparison charts here. In addition, Keir Lamont and Mercedes Subhani from the Future of Privacy Forum prepared a very useful chart comparing the Iowa bill to the Connecticut Data Privacy Act.
