N.H. Senate Panel Supports Privacy Bill

A New Hampshire privacy bill “ought to pass,” a Senate panel said Wednesday. The Judiciary Committee voted 5-0 for SB-255 with amendments. CTIA praised the bill’s similarity to Connecticut’s privacy law in Feb. 14 written testimony. Iowa, Maryland and Oregon legislators also weighed privacy bills this week (see 2303080052). The Illinois House Cybersecurity Committee didn’t take up privacy and social media bills that were scheduled for hearing Thursday. The Kentucky House State Government Committee skipped a scheduled Thursday hearing SB-20 to ban TikTok on state devices, which the Senate earlier passed (see 2302130045).
