The year 2024 proved to be another
robust one for emerging U.S. state privacy law. Seven states joined
the ranks, bringing the total up to 19.
Unlike previous years, however,
2024 underwent a paradigm shift away from the standard framework
influenced by the draft Washington State Privacy Act. For the
Future of Privacy Forum's Keir Lamont, CIPP/US, and Husch
Blackwell's David Stauss, CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPT, FIP, PLS, 2024
marked the end of what Lamont calls the "Pax Washingtonia" era for
state privacy law.
While attending the IAPP Privacy.
Security. Risk. conference in Los Angeles, California, IAPP
Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy caught up with Lamont and Stauss
to discuss this busy year in state privacy law, as well as what to
expect with rulemaking and enforcement at the state level.
