Va. Kids' Privacy Bill Signed

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin approved a kids’ privacy bill after the Democrat-controlled legislature rejected his suggested changes. Legislators last month balked at the Republican governor’s proposed amendment to cross-filed bills HB-707 and SB-361. Youngkin sought to add language related to the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (see 2404180037). With his signature Friday, the kids’ privacy bill will take effect Jan. 1.
