Texas Privacy Bill Clears Senate, Returns to House

The Texas Senate voted 20-0 to pass a comprehensive privacy bill Wednesday. The House earlier passed HB-4 but must vote again to concur with Senate amendments. The bill received industry kudos in the House for being compatible with Virginia and Connecticut laws (see 2304050018). Last week, Florida’s legislature passed a privacy bill (see 2305050048) and Indiana became the seventh state with a privacy law (see 2305030040).
