1. What’s New
The big news last week was Connecticut Senator James Maroney’s SB 1295 passing the legislature. The bill significantly revises Connecticut’s existing data privacy law, including modifying its applicability standard, exemptions, definitions, consumer rights, data minimization provisions, and children’s privacy sections.
In Oregon, Governor Kotek signed HB 2008 in law. The bill amends Oregon’s consumer data privacy law to prohibit targeted advertising, profiling, and the sale of personal data if a controller has actual knowledge or willfully disregards a consumer is 13-15 years old. Controllers also cannot sell precise geolocation data.
In other news, California’s cross-over deadline was Friday, June 6. The following bills met that deadline:
- AB 566 – opt-out preference signal
- AB 1043 – age verification signals
- SB 361 – amendments to data broker law
- SB 771 – social media
- SB 690 – amendments to the California Invasion of Privacy Act
- SB 354 – Insurance Consumer Privacy Protection Act of 2025
Turning to new bills, Michigan Democrat Senator Rosemary Bayer reintroduced the Michigan Personal Data Privacy Act (SB 359). We have been tracking this bill for several years. The Democrats control the Michigan Senate and governorship, but the Republicans flipped the House in last year’s election.
Moving to minors’ privacy bills, Texas Governor Abbott signed SB 2420 (App Store Accountability Act) into law.
Prior to closing for the year, the Nevada legislature passed SB 63, which creates obligations for entities that process the personal data of children under 13 years of age.
Meanwhile, Louisiana’s HB 570 (Protection of Children on Applications) appears to be headed to a conference committee after the Senate passed an amended version of the bill and the House voted to reject the amendments.
Finally, in New York, S4505 (warning labels for social media platforms) advanced to a third reading in the Senate. New York’s legislature closes on June 12.
