The fate of Vermont’s sweeping data privacy bill hangs in the balance after being vetoed by Republican Gov. Phil Scott on Friday.
The Democrat-led legislature is hoping to mount an override of the veto this week to push the 330-page bill over the line. If so, it would join 18 other states, including Texas, that have comprehensive consumer data privacy laws on the books. The states have acted in the absence of a comprehensive federal privacy law.
