On Sunday, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, unveiled the “American Privacy Rights Act.” The bill would “[eliminate] the existing patchwork” of state privacy laws and include strong enforcement measures, according to a press release.
Among other provisions, the bill would seek to hold executives accountable if the law’s consumer protections were not followed.
