Conn. Privacy Law Awaits Signature After House Passage

The Connecticut House passed privacy legislation 144-5 Thursday, sending it to Gov. Ned Lamont (D) for his signature. The Senate unanimously passed a concurring bill earlier this month (see 2204210011). SB-6 creates a “consumer bill of rights with respect to data privacy,” said House General Law Committee Chair Michael D’Agostino (D), lead sponsor in the House. Consumers would have the right to know when their data is being tracked, how it’s being used and to delete the data under the new opt-out measure. The House declined to consider an amendment on children’s privacy.
