Cantwell Confirms Senate Commerce Eyeing Kids Privacy Markup

Bipartisan children’s privacy legislation is in line for a Senate Commerce Committee markup, Chair Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., told us Thursday, as expected (see 2207080053). “Not next week but maybe something after that,” Cantwell said Thursday in response to our question on Capitol Hill about the Kids Online Safety Act from Senate Consumer Protection Subcommittee Chairman Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and ranking member Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. “I think after that you might see that bill” marked up, Cantwell said.
