N.H. Enacts Privacy Law; W.Va. Bill Nears Finish Line

New Hampshire is the 15th state with a sweeping privacy law. Gov. Chris Sununu (R) signed SB-255 on Wednesday, which provides "transparency about what information is collected, why, and confidence that in the age of AI, steps are taken to protect that data," he said. A West Virginia comprehensive privacy bill passed the Senate on a 27-6 vote Thursday. The Senate asked the House to concur with its amendments to HB-5338. The House previously voted 91-0 for the bill (see 2402280046).
