Conn. Privacy Bill Advances; Md., Ga. Bills Fail

One comprehensive state privacy bill moved forward while two others died last week. Connecticut privacy bill SB-6 advanced Thursday to the joint Judiciary Committee. The General Law Committee weighed the bill last month (see 2203030059). Meanwhile, Maryland’s House Economic Matters Committee voted 20-0 Friday against SB-11 to set up a privacy study group. The Maryland bill was originally a comprehensive measure, but the Senate scaled it back (see 2203300064). Georgia privacy bill SB-394 died when legislators adjourned last week.
