16 Privacy Groups Tell The Feds Not To Pre-Empt The States

16 privacy and civil rights groups told the US Congress that the federal government should not interfere with efforts by the states to legislate strong local privacy regulations. 

Among the states that have passed privacy protective laws are Illinois which passed a Biometric Information Privacy Act, Vermont which regulates data brokers and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

The letter states:

federal legislation. The states are the “laboratories of democracy” and have led the way in the development of innovative privacy legislation
