State privacy legislation

Keypoint: Privacy professionals will have their hands full with compliance deadlines over the next year.

Over the past few years, states have enacted numerous privacy laws, including broad consumer data privacy laws, children’s privacy laws, consumer health data privacy laws, and data broker laws. The enactment of so many privacy laws in such a short period of time has created an avalanche of compliance deadlines for businesses. In the below article, we identify the upcoming deadlines for this year (January 2024 through January 2025). We also provide a brief background on the various laws and, where available, links to our prior posts on each. We also have provided a chart identifying the deadlines.

In addition to the deadlines identified below, businesses subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) should keep in mind that CCPA § 1798.130(5) requires businesses to update their privacy policies “at least once every twelve months” and CCPA Regulation § 7011(e)(4) requires businesses to state when their privacy policy was last updated. Businesses should update their privacy policies to comply with this annual requirement.
