CCPA-Like Oklahoma Privacy Bill Clears House

The Oklahoma House passed a comprehensive data privacy bill. Members voted 85-11 Thursday for an amended HB-1602, sending the measure to the Senate. The bill is “best described as a heavily-modified version of the California Consumer Privacy Act,” blogged Husch Blackwell privacy attorney David Stauss. Lawmakers deleted a private right of action from an earlier draft, he noted. It would take effect Jan. 1, 2023, the same date as Virginia’s privacy law, which was signed Tuesday. The Washington Senate passed a privacy bill Wednesday (see 2103040007).
