Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) released a discussion draft of the American Privacy Rights Act on April 7, 2024. This announcement of a bipartisan, bicameral proposal for a federal comprehensive consumer privacy law was a significant—and unexpected—development in longstanding efforts to adopt federal privacy legislation.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced that it was issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding Personal Financial Data Rights on October 19, 2023. The proposed rule would implement section 1033 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010, which gives consumers the right to access their financial data and authorizes third parties to access it on their behalf.

Following a related request for information earlier this year, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced on August 15, 2023, its intention to launch rulemaking targeting data brokers.

Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed Senate Bill 5 on May 1 (effective January 1, 2026), making Indiana the seventh state to offer comprehensive privacy protections.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced on March 15, 2023, that it is issuing a Request for Information about the business practices of data brokers, which the agency said will assist it in “planned rulemaking” under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
