Bipartisan American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 Unveiled

The proposed legislation aims to establish a national data privacy standard, preempting state laws and allowing consumers to control their personal information.

The American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 seeks to provide comprehensive data privacy protections across the U.S., addressing long-standing gaps in federal law.
The bill would enable consumers to opt out of targeted advertising and data transfers, and require companies to be transparent about data use.
State laws would be preempted by the federal legislation, aiming to create a uniform standard that surpasses existing state protections.
Consumers could seek financial damages for violations of their privacy rights under the new bill, which also has bipartisan and bicameral support.
The legislation is currently a discussion draft, open to changes, as Congress faces pressure to act on tech issues ahead of the election.
