AAF Legislative Comments & Testimony

Comments on Texas HB 4
3/2/2023 
As presently drafted, HB 4 contains provisions that are out-of-step with privacy laws in other states. We therefore encourage Texas legislature to update the bill so it more closely aligns with recently enacted legislation.
Comments on Washington HB 1155
1/23/2023 
The bill’s terms, coupled with its overly broad definition of “consumer health data,” could unintentionally impede Washingtonians from receiving useful and relevant information about products and services they may desire.
Comments on Virginia SB 1026
1/18/2023 
We believe that SB 1026 is overly restrictive and ignores existing protections for children under federal privacy law and Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act.
Comments on Colorado Privacy Act Regulations
1/17/2023 
We provide input and suggested changes to discrete proposed regulatory provisions to help ensure the CPA implementing regulations are consistent with the law, aligned with other state approaches to privacy regulation, and protective of consumers.
