Florida Proposed Privacy Bill Fails

H.B. 969 titled Consumer Data Privacy has failed to become the nation’s third comprehensive consumer privacy law. The legislature adjourned without reaching a legislature agreement between the House and Senate as the Senate voted 29-11 to send the bill back to the House. The main controversy around this bill not being able to advance is centered on whether a consumer should have a private right of action to sue a company for an alleged violation.
