Keypoint: Montana becomes first Republican-controlled legislature to pass a consumer data privacy bill requiring controllers to recognize universal opt out mechanisms, providing additional rights for children, sunsetting the right to cure, and adjusting the applicability threshold to take into account a state’s smaller population.

On April 21, 2023, the Montana legislature unanimously passed Republican Senator Daniel Zolnikov’s SB 384. In doing so, Montana became the first Republican-controlled legislature to pass a consumer privacy bill with provisions that closely align with last year’s Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA). As a result, Montana joins California, Colorado, and Connecticut as states with the strongest consumer data privacy bills passed to date. In a first, the Montana bill lowers the traditional 100,000 consumer threshold to 50,000 to presumably take into account Montana’s smaller population.

Pending any remaining procedural formalities, the bill will be sent to Montana Governor Greg Gianforte in the coming days. Governor Gianforte can sign the bill, veto it, or allow it become law without his signature.

In the below post, we provide a summary of some of the bill’s more notable provisions. Click here for a more detailed comparison of the Montana bill against the seven bills passed to date.Continue Reading Montana Legislature Passes Consumer Data Privacy Bill
