The United States famously lacks a comprehensive federal data privacy law. In the past year, however, over half the states have proposed broad privacy bills or have established task forces to propose possible privacy legislation. Meanwhile, congressional committees are holding hearings on multiple privacy bills. What is catalyzing this legislative momentum?

However, in recent years, this patchwork approach has been unable to keep up with the pace of technology and has created confusion and concern for the …
