And that makes a DOZEN! Delaware and Oregon have surprised me.
BREAKING: It’s a wrap in Delaware. The House voted 37-3 on concurrence and final passage of House Bill 154. Some different flavor to this CT-style bill, but more to the point: The state privacy law pile now sits at 12 states high. Wild.

Essential reading for US #privacy pros. Fascinating insights into how the FTC is using (and intends to use) the limited tools available to it.

And now for the UK - US Data Bridge. Finally some good news on data transfers! #GDPR
UK Prime Minister Sunak and President Biden announce a commitment "in principle to a new UK-US Data Bridge which would make it easier for around 55,000 UK businesses to transfer data freely to certified US organisations" gov.uk/government/news/uk-an…

Happy 5th Birthday, #GDPR! It's been a wild ride, but it's definitely changed the #privacy profession as we know it. Hopefully we'll get data transfers figured out at some point.

Iowa is our 6th US state comprehensive #privacy law (although a bit of a yawner). Which state will be next?
And then there were six! SIX COMPREHENSIVE U.S. STATE #PRIVACY LAWS with Iowa Governor Reynolds signing SF262 into law governor.iowa.gov/press-rele… … and counting until and unless the US Congress adopts a comprehensive federal privacy bill. #Privacypros

Excellent podcast episode to check out from @PrivacyPros. @JedBracy chats with Zoe Argento at Littler about workplace privacy. Great #privacy advice for those dealing with #HR data. iapp.org/news/a/the-ins-and-…

And Iowa may soon have its own comprehensive #privacy law, but not sure I understand the point of passing such a weak and meaningless law. This law will be ignored.
Pigs, corn fields and data privacy... That's Iowa. Here's my reporting on the passage of the sixth US state comprehensive privacy law (still pending governor enactment) and how it fits into the #patchwork iapp.org/news/a/iowa-set-to-…
